Sunwing needs to hire qualified and trained permanent pilots within Canada

Unifor says Sunwing Airlines has not done enough to fill open positions by intending to hire permanent pilots who would be covered by the union’s collective agreement, instead opting to use temporary foreign workers. Read our letters to the company and the Canadian government asking them to stop this practice.

Re: Sunwing Application to the Temporary Foreign Worker Program Dear Mr. Corrado,

Bill 124 Charter challenge is heard in Ontario Superior Court

Bill 124 squashed the wages and bargaining rights of public sector workers for two years in Ontario.

And now, after two years of prep, Bill 124 hearings began on Monday September 12, 2022. The hearings will run Monday-Friday from September 12-23.

Unifor National President Lana Payne says 'Quiet Quitting' not enough. Workers must roar.

There is no question that the pandemic has created a new workscape. 

Despite a textbook scenario for workers to demand better from their bosses, wages remain low – relative to rising inflation – benefits are meagre and pension plans elusive. 

Despite ballooning profits and claims of labour shortages, most workers still find themselves on the losing end.
