As we all know, the cost of living continues to rise which has put enormous financial pressure on all workers. We wanted to inform you about a significant initiative we’ve undertaken here at District Lodge 140. We have recently filed a petition with the House of Commons to demand a living wage for all our members working at airports across the country.
The petition was published on July 2nd, 2024, and we are thrilled to report that it has already garnered over 450 signatures. This is a fantastic start, but our goal is to reach 5,000 signatures, and we need the help and support of all members to achieve this.
Your enthusiastic responses and solidarity have been inspiring. Thank you to everyone who has already signed the petition and shown their support.
Members can sign the petition online at:

- LODGE 764 MEMBERS EXPANDED EFAP HOURS AND AVAILABILITY
Yesterday’s tragic and sudden passing of Brother Joe Toth has been very traumatic for a large portion of our membership who knew and worked with Joe over the course of his 36-year career and throughout his three decades of dedicated work as a Local Lodge 764 officer and representative.

It is with profound regret and the greatest sadness that I must inform all of you of the sudden and tragic passing this morning of Brother Joe Toth. This is an unspeakable loss for his wife, Linda and his family.
Joe was an absolute diehard Unionist and ardent activist within LL764 for his entire career. He has contributed more than three decades of service representing our membership in multiple roles within the Executive Board and the TOSC. Brother Toth was currently serving as a member of the Technical Operations H&S Committee and one of the LL764 Auditors.
As a sign of respect for Brother Toth and because of the devastating grief that his sudden passing has brought upon a significant portion of our membership, Local Lodge 764 has sought, and received approval, from the Canadian Grand Lodge office to postpone tonight’s scheduled General Membership meeting.
