CAW Reaches First Tentative Agreement with Aeroplan

TORONTO, Oct. 23 /CNW/ - The CAW has reached a first tentative agreement with Aeroplan early this morning. The agreement covers 900 workers in the company's two offices in Montreal and Vancouver.
"This is a good agreement which ends many months of insecurity for our members," said CAW Local 2002 President Leslie Dias, representing workers in the transportation sector, including the airlines.
Aeroplan separated from Air Canada in 2005, but this year workers at the company had to decide whether to continue working at the independent Aeroplan or possibly go to a position at Air Canada, which was then threatening a return to bankruptcy protection.
Details of the agreement will be released following the ratification vote. Workers will be voting on the new deal late next week.

MONTREAL, Oct. 30 /CNW Telbec/ - Groupe Aeroplan is pleased to announce that Aeroplan Canada Inc. has reached a three-year agreement with CAW Local 2002 that represents Aeroplan contact centre employees, effective November 15, 2009. The collective agreement was ratified by 67 per cent of voters after union meetings held in Montral on Wednesday and Vancouver on Thursday.
"This is a significant development for Aeroplan Canada as it represents our first collective agreement with our Customer Service and Sales Agents," said Vince Timpano, President, Aeroplan Canada. "We worked closely with the CAW to come up with an agreement that is aligned with Aeroplan's business as a loyalty management company and better reflects our culture. I'd like to extend my thanks to the CAW and management teams for the hard work that went into reaching this milestone that sets a positive new tone for our relationship going forward."
Aeroplan became the employer of the agents working in its contact centres in June 2009, prior to that they were employed by Air Canada.
