Unionized staff on the Airbus meeting facility in Mirabel, Que., have rejected the corporate’s newest contract supply in a vote on Sunday.
An announcement from Airbus says it had been holding talks with representatives of the Airbus A220 staff since they rejected the primary supply three weeks in the past.
The firm says the dialogue on the bargaining desk had been “open and constructive,” and it submitted a “new improved” supply to members of the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers on March 29.
But the Airbus assertion says there’s “still a gap between the union’s demands and the current financial capacity of the A220 which has not yet reached breakeven.”
It says Airbus stays dedicated to “reconciling the interests of our employees with the economic imperatives of the A220,” and its negotiating workforce could be again on the bargaining desk as early as Monday.
An announcement from the union after the primary vote in March says it represents 1,300 of three,000 staff on the facility, and people members had voted 99.6 per cent towards the contact and 98.9 per cent in favour of strike motion.
At the time, spokesman Eric Rancour stated members had been involved that the proposed wage will increase had been beneath the speed of inflation.
