District Bulletin 5 – AIR CANADA IMPORTANT NOTICE REGARDING SUPPORTING DOCUMENTATION FOR FR DAY REQUEST (PERSONAL LEAVE)

We wanted to bring your attention to the Company’s recent demands for supporting documentation when submitting requests for FR days (Personal Leave, as per the Canada Labour Code).
