labor union

The labor union representing Air Canada’s flight attendants has asked to cancel mediation and move wage negotiations to direct arbitration.

The Allied Pilots Association has filed a grievance over American Airline’s alleged plan to use a partner carrier, Alaska, for long-haul international routes.

Pilots with ultra-low-cost airline Allegiant are preparing to hold a no-confidence vote in the carrier’s management and board and directors.

Air Canada said it will begin canceling flights as its flight attendants prepare to strike, raising the possibility of a full shutdown by the weekend.

In a statement, ALPA said it recently received certification from the Canada Industrial Relations Board to represent over 800 pilots at Porter.

The unions representing pilots at Republic and Mesa have signed a “unity agreement” that will govern contract negotiations as the two carriers work to merge.

The union and United reached a tentative deal in May that included immediate raises of at least 26%, a one-time retroactive bonus, and an additional holiday.

Currently, the group is represented by the Allied Pilots Association (APA), though a majority of members voted earlier this year to explore a merger.
