Earlier this week, Porter announced it will be opening three new jet bases later this year in Ottawa, Montreal, and Vancouver. This is awesome news! As a flight attendant union, CUPE supports growth and job creation in the sector.
But we also know how important it is for flight attendants to have someone looking out for them while companies pursue rapid expansion on a big scale – so that nobody is left behind in the shuffle.
A union can help protect you and your rights at work while your airline expands and grows.
A union would work to establish a fair process to manage flow, so the procedure for determining who is assigned to which base and which aircraft type is done fairly.
A union will also ensure you have the proper training to work on your new aircraft type, if that is changing as well.
A union can also help flight attendants at Porter protect and expand moving allowances if you’re required to change your base of operations.
