Bargaining Update #53: Ratification Vote Reminder

Dear members,

The ratification voting period for our Tentative Agreement closes on Monday, August 24 at 2:00pm MT.

If members have any questions, please reach out to a member of your respective Bargaining Committee member.

Following ratification of the Tentative Agreement, the Parties (Company and Union) will work together to prepare the renewed Collective Agreement by incorporating all agreed-upon changes into the existing, unchanged language from CA1. Once compiled, members will be provided access to the complete, finalized Collective Agreement in electronic format.

IMPORTANT NOTE: If the tentative agreement is voted no, we do not go back to the bargaining table. As outlined in point 8 of the MOA, we will proceed to Mediation for 30 days. If no agreement is reached, we then proceed to binding arbitration where an arbitrator will make the final and binding decision on any outstanding items.

There is no ability to go back on strike or participate in any form of job action.

If you do not receive your voting email, please check your Junk or Spam folder. If you experience any further issues accessing the SimplyVoting platform, believe you should have received voting credentials but have not, or require assistance during the voting period, please click here.  

The Bargaining Committee believes that ratification is one of the most important decisions you will make during the collective bargaining process, and we want to ensure that you see the value in the gains we have achieved at the bargaining table. Your Bargaining Committee unanimously recommends and endorses this Tentative Agreement and urges all members to vote.

Your WestJet Mainline Bargaining Committee.
