Bulletin 21 – AIR CANADA CUPE STRIKE UPDATE AUGUST 13, 2025

Earlier today, CUPE, the union representing Air Canada’s Flight Attendants, issued a strike notice. Air Canada subsequently responded by issuing a lockout notice moments later. While this is an important step in their fight for a fair deal, it is business as usual for our members at this time.

The Company has confirmed to us there are no current plans to place our members off duty. However, it is important to note that this situation can change rapidly.

As you know, there will be an upcoming certification vote for you to decide whether you will remain an IAM Union member. This vote will take place online so you can vote without fear of reprisal and your vote will remain confidential. I am asking you to consider this: What is AMFA going to do for you?
• Does AMFA have the infrastructure to fight an evil, well-oiled machine in Air Canada?
• Does AMFA have a Pension Plan?
• Am I going to be a second-class citizen at AMFA?
• Am I leaving money on the table?
• Will AMFA protect my job when they have a history of outsourcing?
