WestJet – December 2022 Late Schedule Release

Dear WestJet Member,

The Company met with the Union today and advised that the YVR, YYZ and all Cabin Manager blocking runs had been completed. The YYC CCM blocks were encountering a significant runtime and the company indicated they could no longer meet their Collective Agreement requirements in article 34-2.01 - Schedules for the following month will be released no later than 1900 MT, for YYC base Cabin Crew Members. 

This also means that all December block award uploads to Flica and trades would be delayed, regardless of base and classification.
 

This is completely unacceptable.

The Union will respond accordingly by filing a policy grievance. The last late schedule release in June resulted in the Union filing a policy grievance currently in queue for arbitration.  

Once again, the Company has failed us all. This delay has once again hindered our Members ability to manage their work life balance when they needed it the most.


In Solidarity,

Your CUPE 4070 Executive Team
Interim CUPE 4070 President, Alia Hussain
