Union Vote 22 July - 05 Aug

Looks like the CEO's scare tactics of threatening to pull profit sharing and ESPP worked on the majority.

When did he do that?

What? You mean it's the union agitators that are scare mongering??

He didn't...

"Having a union as your exclusive bargaining agent would have a significant impact on the nature of your employment and the way the company and employees interact with each other," Saretsky said in the email.

In a document attached to the email, WestJet says that a union cannot guarantee anything, including the terms of employment, current wages and profit sharing and the employee share purchase plan.

It's over. Polls were in, thanks for coming out!

I agree.
Now is the time to work together and unify as a group.

[Smitty]

Is the WPPA going to let that happen?

The impression I get is "union or bust".

The saddest part here isn't that the vote went No or even Yes. The saddest part is that 55 said No while 45 said Yes. This is a split- and shows that the pilot group is quite divided.

Now is the time for the pilot group to unite. How- that is the real question

Time to get the old WJ way back in the airline. Time to be HAPPY.

Make a video like this for the airline. It is the Westjetty way.

I flew on these guys once about 10 year back, but in the ATR on an inter-island flight.

But I sure would be HAPPY as well to go from an ATR to a 777.

Watching this unfold with a tad bit of interest, there will no doubt be subtle repercussions against those who pushed for certification especially with what could be seen as a close vote. I mean the WJ culture has been called into question (because of that close showing, clearly a reasonable portion were not content), MGT and those who thought certification wasn’t a great idea (they won) will certainly remember. That is the nature of us human beasts, to suggest otherwise is pure folly.
Carry on!!!
