Illegal for ALPA pilots to fly encore routes in BC

Post by HFNav »

Illegal for 737 crews or WJ encore managers to replace the routes of striking encore pilots operating in BC. These laws exist in BC & Quebec. The federal law for the remainder of Canada passed last week.

If WJ adds flights to cover the encore flying in BC, WJ & WJ crew pay individual fines

• is hired after the union and employer start bargaining
• is an employee or manager who normally works in a different work location
• is an employee who is transferred to the work location where the strike or lockout is happening after the union and employer start bargaining
• is provided by another person (for example, a contractor)

During a strike or lockout (job action), an employer often continues to run its business or operation. For example, it might ask managers to do some of the work of the employees in the bargaining unit that is on strike or locked out. People who do that work are referred to as replacement workers.

However, in order to protect the integrity and viability of the bargaining unit, the employer’s use of certain types of replacement workers is restricted. A violation of these restrictions, even a relatively minor one, is an unfair labour practice.

MPs unanimously pass legislation banning replacement workers | National Post

OTTAWA — Cheers erupted in the House of Commons on Monday after MPs of all stripes, including Conservatives, unanimously voted in favour of legislation to ban replacement workers used during strikes and lock-outs in federally regulated workplaces.

Conservative Leader said in a speech last month that his party supported the legislation because “working people have the right to bargain and fight for wage increases that they need in order to keep up with the galloping inflation that has ripped them off.”

I question your mental capacity, this legislation is not yet adopted and if it passes the next reading it still is not in effect for a year after royal assent.
This will not help Encore pilots, won’t even help AC pilots, I’m not sure if your motivation is to try a male WJ Pilots question if they can do the work assignment.
You also might want to read the wording of the legislation in B.C, replacement worker is a person who does the work at the company, in this case if WJ transferred a WJ pilot to Encore to fly the Q, this would be illegal, replacing flights with a bigger aircraft in a separate company, not illegal.

Also provincial legislation doesn’t apply to federally regulated industries
