Avis – Shuttlers Transition Update
February 5, 2018
To: All MoveUP Shuttlers at Aviscar Inc.
Your union met with the employer on January 29 & 30 to discuss integration of the Shuttlers into the collective agreement. We are pleased to report that we have had a productive discussion and have made progress in discussing issues that you have told us are important to you.
These include the issues of:
· Casual and regular part-time employment
· Pension
· Job descriptions
· Shuttler trips
· Contracting out (flip flop)
· Salary transparency
· “Shuttler lead” description
· Wage increase
These issues and concerns were explored during our conversations. Your negotiating team asked numerous questions, sought clarifications and requested additional data to support these discussions and future negotiations.
The shuttler bargaining team was satisfied in the progress we have made in communicating issues, ascertaining important information and data surrounding issues and putting our team in a good position to negotiate a reasonable and fair first collective agreement for the Avis shuttler group at the main negotiations which are scheduled to commence on April 9, 2018.
We will continue to keep you informed of our progress.
In solidarity,
Mike Novak
Union Representative
