ALPA created a single local council to serve your pilot group immediately after the Canada Industrial Relations Board certified ALPA as your representative.
Today, the Canada Industrial Relations Board certified ALPA as your bargaining agent. You now join more than 80,000 ALPA pilots in the United States and Canada. Thank you to the Air Creebec ALPA Organizing Committee for all their hard work.
On January 9, we filed membership cards with the Canada Industrial Review Board. This week, we wanted to share a brief explanation of the certification process.
Today we filed our membership cards with the Canada Industrial Relations Board (CIRB). This demonstrates that a strong majority of our pilots seek trade union representation.
Have you signed a card yet? This is your opportunity to show that you support joining a certified union under the Canada Labour Code to represent your interests as a professional airline pilot.
For the past year, members of the Air Creebec Organizing Committee (OC) set out to explore certifying our pilot group with the Air Line Pilots Association, International (ALPA). We spent time talking to you, discussing the issues we face, and identifying your interest in joining ALPA.
