Bulletin # 32 below will provide an update on the current status pertaining to how Air Canada is treating its employees with respect to not participating in the 12-week extension of the Federal “Canada Emergency Wage Subsidy” program.

The IAM is strongly suggesting that Air Canada needs to step up and maintain a good employer-employee relationship and to show true leadership amid the current Covid-19 pandemic.  To participate is not only good for the employees and their families, but it is also the right thing to do with respect to being the Nation’s flag carrier.  Read the full bulletin, in both official languages here:
