Toronto, On – Members of the IAMAW Air Canada bargaining team will have internal discussions on how best to proceed in the wake of the membership’s rejection of the tentative agreement with the airline.
“Once these discussions are complete our bargaining team will meet with the company as soon as possible so we can move forward to a successful conclusion,” said IAMAW District 140 President and General Chairperson Chuck Atkinson.
Contrary to some media reports, the IAMAW never has targeted the 2010 Vancouver Olympic Games for a strike at Air Canada as a possible bargaining chip in these negotiations.
