The union hopes Monday\u0027s picket sends \u0022a strong message to management,\u0022 said Jason Roberts of the Air Line Pilots Association.
The sides are in a 21-day cooling-off period after a federal conciliation process failed to reach an agreement in talks that started in September. The union hopes Monday’s picket sends “a strong message to management,” said Jason Roberts, a member of the Air Line Pilots Association’s executive council.Sign up to receive daily headline news from the Calgary Herald, a division of Postmedia Network Inc.
WestJet, in its statement, said the company’s goal is “achieving an agreement that is competitive within Canada’s airline industry and ensures we have a long-term sustainable future,” but the union argues that the company isn’t facing the reality that its members are facing. “They still fail to understand today’s labour market conditions and it’s leading to a mass exodus of our professional pilots,” Roberts said. “On average, a WestJet pilot is leaving our airline every 18 hours.”. Issues include wage, job security, and scheduling at the airline and its discount subsidiary Swoop.
Gradek said up until now, Canadian airlines have operated on pay scales that are separate from U.S. airlines, which have typically been 35 per cent to 40 per cent lower.
