Resignation as Women’s Advocate | 02 JAN 19
Hello all,
I have resigned from Women’s Advocate Pacific Region, effective immediately, as I have accepted a permanent position in the Training Department.
This announcement comes with a heavy heart as I have sincerely enjoyed my role as your Women’s Advocate. I am extremely thankful to Unifor for providing such extraordinary training and support and I truly am sad that I no longer am able to represent our amazing membership. I do hope, however, that my departure will give an opportunity to another woman from our District 101 (Air Canada CSSAs @ YVR) to step up and take this incredible role!
The role of a Women’s Advocate is not that of a counsellor but rather is there to listen and support, to provide information, to refer women to appropriate resources and to follow up in a confidential manner. With ongoing activism and involvement in their union, workplaces and communities, these advocates bring experience and support to the members of district 101.
One of the best tools that the Union has to prevent violence against women and workplace harassment is the Women’s Advocate Program.
The local has posted here: http://www.unifor2002.org/News-Room/Air-Canada/AC-Customer-Sales-and-Service/Air-Canada-Vacancy-for-(1)-Women%E2%80%99s-Advocate-posi
Please know that Unifor has outstanding courses and a network of support which will help the successful applicant transition into this awe-inspiring role.
I am truly thankful to Unifor and the wonderful membership for allowing me to serve as what I regard as one of the most rewarding experiences of my lifetime.
Thank you to all!!

Gate Familiarization | 02JAN19
We can all agree learning the gates function in training vs on the job is very different. Many of us have fond memories of agents that shared their knowledge and best practices when we dove into the deep end of the pool and became gate agents. With that being said please consider assisting training and fellow agents by allowing new agents to shadow you while you are doing gates. Thank you.

Cart Driving ... Lets try this again | 22NOV2018
At present unifor staff are averaging one accident each and every month. Recently an agent damaged an elevator and is now facing a one year TEV suspension while AC is being fined $1000.00. If this trend continues, it is only a matter of time before YVR airport authority takes over this work. Once again YVRAP is the only location in Canada that has Unifor staff driving golf carts. Please make an effort and conform to the TEV guidelines including :
- Driving at a safe speed
- Not talking or texting on a cell phone while driving
- reporting all accidents since everything is recorded on CCTV
- stop hitting things
Thank you in advance !!

DTF2 Closing shift | 22NOV2018
The union is aware that recently the company is closing DTF2 at 1830 nightly. The union has subsequently filed a grievance. It is perplexing that just after starting our new shift the company would proceed in this manner. Not only is it disingenuous to the agents that bid these lines, it also makes passengers connections far more arduous considering bag drop cut off and walk time to domestic check in.

There is a zero tolerance policy with respect to bullying in the workplace. AC and Unifor each have a commitment to the prevention of workplace bullying. While healthy debate and difference of opinions will always exist in such a large diverse group such as our own, Intimidation-Belittling-Humiliation are simply unacceptable. Please treat each other with respect and dignity throughout your work day. Thank you.
