Re: Westjet Tech Ops needs a union!!!!!!!
This seems to be in contrast with the usual saying that WestJet treats their employees really well. Care to elaborate? Does Tech Ops really need a union or do a couple of lazy mechanics need a union? Not that I am against unions, far from it in fact, but this seems like trolling compared to what we usually hear.

Well... a one-off, anonymous post on a public forum is sure to rally the troops and get you that union you deserve. Better yet, I'm sure it will win over the hearts & minds of our management team and make them come to their senses.
If you truly have concerns, there are far better avenues by which to voice them. More to the point, there are avenues available which may get your concerns addressed by our management before it gets to the point where you feel the need to scream for a union.

Re: Westjet Tech Ops needs a union!!!!!!!
so, i'm a bit confused. how would a union help? i see what the union has done to/for the ames at Aveos and it doesn't seem like they've really helped the guys. what about Jazz? with the heavy maintenance being looked at and likely going to be contracted, what is their union doing for them? from an outsider looking in, it looks like all of the union aircraft maintenance jobs in Canada are slowly going away and KFL, Cascade and Premier will be the only ones in business.

Yeah, we need a union...Bored are we? If you are referring to the regional airline well seeing how its still a long way off from anything being done you can put your picket sign away and take a breath...

Perhaps with his profit share cheque in hand he's changed his mind or gone on a nice vacation. Regardless pretty lame attitude.

Nice Westjetter attitudes. Someone makes a comment and the lynch mob mentality is in full force. Way to keep your options and mind open!

Re: Westjet Tech Ops needs a union!!!!!!!
lol. Funny.
Keeping an open mind about a union? Please...... Wanna ruin a good thing, thats how you do it.
As for being forced to take a pay cut? Nobody knows anything about where/when/how this regional thing is going to get off the ground for one, so how you've come to the conclusion that guys are going to be forced to take a pay cut and that a union is the only answer to the unfair, predatory business practices that Westjet uses on its own employees is beyond me. Take a breath, calm down.

This thread will be fun to re-visit in 12-18 months after you have had a division of pilots/maintenance, division of pay scales, division of aircraft types and division of work conditions... but hey, your management would never do to you what every other airline management has done to its employees. Suerte amigos.

Of course having a union would prevent all that.

I will submit the request to my union social activities coordinator and have the request fast-tracked through the MEC. I should have an answer for you by August...
I think AvCanada needs a union too. I nominate JJJ for Supreme-Teal-Leader.
