Bargaining

Winnipeg Airports Authority and the Public Service Alliance of Canada are pleased to announce an agreement has been reached to bring striking WAA employees back to work. 

Late Sunday evening (October 1st), the PSAC/UCTE 50600 bargaining team reached a tentative agreement with the Winnipeg Airport Authority. The bargaining team is unanimously recommending acceptance and ratification votes are scheduled for Wednesday, October 4th. No details on the tentative agreement will be released until the members have an opportunity to meet and vote on Wednesday. If the agreement is ratified, our members will start returning to work on Thursday and you can once again use the Winnipeg airport. 

Members of the Public Service Alliance of Canada (PSAC) and the Union of Canadian Transport Employees (UCTE) at the Winnipeg Airport will be holding a public rally at City Hall today (Wednesday, September 27, 2017) at 12 noon.

Our bargaining team met with Parks Canada during the week of September 18th, 2017.

Our bargaining team met with the employer in Ottawa from September 19 to 22, 2017.

Our bargaining team will resume negotiations with the employer in Ottawa from September 19 to 22.

Despite an attempt this weekend by the union to return to the table to end the Winnipeg Airport strike that has been in effect since July 24, the Winnipeg Airports Authority (WAA) is doubling-down on its efforts to contract out their employees’ work. WAA has been falsely telling the media that we did not respond to their last offer before the strike began. We did respond even though they didn’t like the answer but just to be sure, we attempted to re-start a meaningful negotiation this weekend and WAA’s answer was clear.

The Winnipeg Airport is doubling-down on its efforts to contract out employees’ work.

August 8 marks the end of two weeks on the picket line for PSAC/UCTE members employed by the Winnipeg Airport Authority.
