Air Canada has reached agreement on a collective agreement extension with CUPE that represents the airline’s approximately 6,700 flight attendants. The contract extension agreement, together with the pension moratorium agreement reached June 15th with CUPE, are subject to membership ratification.
The airline has now concluded agreements on a cost neutral basis for collective agreement extensions with its entire unionized workforce in Canada, in addition to having reached tentative agreements on a pension funding moratorium. The terms of the labour contract extension agreements of all five unions specify that there shall be no changes to wage rates and pension benefit levels during the extension period of 21 months
