PSAC/UCTE members of Local 20209 working at Victoria Airport have ratified a one-year extension of the current Collective Agreement. The extension, which expires March 31 2020, contains new improvements to vacation scheduling and protects members jobs during uncertain times for the airline industry: the Airport Authority continues to commit to avoid any layoffs.

On June 4, 2020, the YYJ bargaining team reached a tentative agreement with the Airport Authority to extend the current collective agreement. If ratified, the extension will take effect on date of ratification and will expire March 31, 2021. All members in good standing of Local 20209 Victoria Airport are eligible to receive and use a mail-in ballot to cast their vote.  Only those members who have registered and attended and information session by webinar will have their votes counted.

May 16 from 6PM to 7PM! Join PSAC members from across the province and the PSAC BC Mainland Human Rights Committee for an evening of music, fun and Solidarity... online. RSVP below and we'll send you a link to the online event. See you on May 16th for Solidarity Saturday!
