Highlights of the tentative agreement between Unifor Local 673 and Bombardier.

June 2015

This round of negotiations took placeduring a difficult economic climatefor Bombardier Aerospace. It is nosecret that this is a tough period inthe business jet market.

Bombardier came into these talks determined to cutcosts through wages and benefits, and determined tooutsource much of the work done at Downsview toMexico and China. Your bargaining team, whilerecognizing a need for cost reductions in certaincomponents, would not and did not agree to allowwork to be sent offshore.

Instead, Unifor pursued a Made in Canada solutionto address costs for these components. This issue willcontinue to be discussed over the life of theagreement. The company wanted your bargainingteam to agree at the outset that some work would bemoved offshore. Bombardier did not achieve this goal.

Despite the challenges faced by your bargainingteam, this new contract brings with it wage increasesand a significant boost to your pension.

I join with your Master Bargaining Committee inrecommending this tentative agreement for approval.

Message from Unifor National President Jerry Dias

We entered this round of bargainingjust as the company announcedmajor layoffs at its aerospacedivisions. To cap it off, the Parisairshow proved to be a total

disappointment for Bombardiers order book.As bargaining commenced, your committee was

faced with the company’s demands for concessions onour benefits and a demand to have new employeescontribute to the pension plan. We made it clear thatthey would be faced with a work disruption if theirdemands were not removed from the table.

As we bargained beyond the deadline, yourbargaining committee emerged with an agreementthat contained no concessions. An agreement thatprovides retirement incentives to our members that includes; a $6 up-front increase to our pensionplan along with benefit improvements to the agreement.

One of the most significant achievements in thisagreement is the sweeping in of all the complimentaryworkers in our Local, who will now enjoy the full rightsand benefits under the collective agreement as the restof us do.

All of this could not have been accomplished withoutthe guidance and leadership of our National PresidentJerry Dias, our Aerospace Director Dawn Cartwright andthe determination of your bargaining committee andthe full, unwavering support of our entire membership.

Your bargaining committee fully endorses thistentative agreement.
