Air Canada says it acknowledges the result of Air Canada pilots’ vote in favour of a potential strike, should the company not reach an agreement through the ongoing negotiations with the Air Line Pilots Association

Air Canada says it acknowledges the result of Air Canada pilots’ vote in favour of a potential strike, should the company not reach an agreement through the ongoing negotiations with the Air Line Pilots Association (ALPA).

First announced yesterday, with 98% of members participating, the ALPA reported that 98% of Air Canada pilots voted in favour of job action, if necessary, to achieve a new contractual agreement with the airline.

Air Canada’s statement confirms that such a vote is a normal step in a negotiation process and does not mean that any disruption will take place.

In fact, notes Air Canada, a strike cannot take place before the end of the current conciliation period, followed by a 21-day cooling-off period.

For more information on the bargaining process see media.aircanada.com.

Air Canada remains committed to the bargaining process and will continue to work towards a fair and equitable collective agreement with ALPA that recognizes the contributions of our pilots and supports the competitiveness and long-term growth of our company,” said the airline’s statement.

The ALPA has signalled that informational pickets will take place Aug. 27 across all Air Canada bases, in Toronto (2 – 3 p.m. ET at YYZ – T1 Departures), Vancouver (11 a.m. – 12 p.m. PT at YYZ – Departures), Montreal (2 – 3 p.m. ET at YUL – Departures) and Winnipeg (1 – 2 p.m. CT at YWG – Departures)
