Air Canada and International Brotherhood of Teamsters Reach Tentative Agreement on New Contract

MONTREAL, Feb. 4, 2015 /CNW Telbec/ – Air Canada today announced that it has reached a tentative collective agreement with the International Brotherhood of Teamsters (IBT) for the airline’s U.S.-based workforce.

The agreement is subject to ratification by the union membership. Details of the agreement will not be released pending ratification and approval by the Air Canada board of directors.

The IBT represents approximately 650 Air Canada airport, cargo and call centre employees based in the United States.

This tentative agreement with the IBT follows on the conclusion in October 2014 of a new agreement with Air Canada’s pilots on collective agreement terms for ten years.
