Porter Airlines Ramp Members: Bargaining Update for September 2, 2022
September 2, 2022 at 10:20 AM
The Bargaining Committee met with the Company on August 30 and 31st, in Toronto, to continue negotiations towards a new collective agreement. The Committee believes the discussions have been productive and common ground has been found with the Company on the non-monetary proposals.
We plan to meet with the Company on September 23rd, 2022 to begin talks on the monetary items and to continue negotiations. It is important to note, that to protect the integrity of the negotiations process, the Committee cannot discuss specific details with the membership while in talks with the Company.

On Monday, January 31st, 2022 your elected bargaining committee met with the membership virtually via zoom in attendance was also the Local 2002 leadership and National representative Pearl Almeida.
The purpose of these meetings was to engage with the membership, provide details of the bargaining survey results and allow the membership to provide us with their feedback and input on what they would like to see negotiated into their next collective agreement. Thank you to the number of members that attended and participated in these important meetings. Membership solidarity will be the key to our bargaining success.
The bargaining committee will be meeting in person later this week to develop proposals and make final preparations as we head into the collective bargaining process. We will ensure to provide further communications once we have the confirmed dates with the company to officially open bargaining.
If you have not already done so, it is imperative during negotiations for Local 2002 to have a personal email address (Company email addresses not accepted) to communicate updates and provide confidential and time-sensitive information. Please provide your bargaining committee with your personal email address as soon as possible.
Bargaining updates will also be provided throughout negotiations and will be on the Unifor 2002 website. In addition, please ensure that you have subscribed at unifor2002.org.
