MONTREAL — The union representing pilots at Jazz Aviation claims that their employer and Air Canada have breached the Canada Labour Code, even as it ratified changes to their collective agreement.
Jazz, a subsidiary of Chorus Aviation Inc., provides regional service for the country's biggest airline under the Air Canada Express brand. Tim Perry, president of the Air Line Pilots Association's Canadian segment, said that the deal was out of bounds, due to the contract between Jazz and Air Canada.
Rather than boost compensation and benefits to pilots — and thus attract and retain more in order to expand flight capacity at Jazz — management took another he route, he said. On top of partnering with PAL, that path also saw Air Canada's "micromanaging what Jazz and Chorus are able to work out in bargaining" and setting an effective cap on Jazz's spending, Perry claimed.
