A SLAP IN THE FACE IN SFO?? (updated 21 January 00)
After Working many Years With Air Canada SFO, Customer Service Agent Mike Taylor Had To Move To A State That Air Canada Did Not Service. Mike's Only Option Was To Resign From Air Canada. In Accordance With The Collective Bargaining Agreement.... Mike Gave His Proper 2 Week Notice To The Company. Mike Advises Me That He Even Received A Letter Of Recommendation From His Manager Stating What A Good Employee He Was While Working For Air Canada. WELL.... Mike Has Moved Back To SFO And Applied For A Position With Air Canada (At The Time Of His Application..There Were Openings In SFO) The Company Has Denied Mike's Application For Employment!! The Reason Given To Mike By The Company Is.... It Is Air Canada's Policy Not To Re-Hire Employees That Have Quit. THIS IS A BOGUS REASON!! I Personally Know Of One Agent Who Resigned From Air Canada And Was Welcomed Back With OPEN ARMS When She Re-Applied For A Job. 17 Agents In SFO Have Written To Human Resources Requesting That Air Canada Reconsider Their Position And Hire Mike Back!! (I Have Copies Of These Letters) Mike Was An EXCELLENT Agent!! And His Devotion and Loyalty To Air Canada Should Be Enough To Have Him RE-HIRED!!! As A Personal Friend Of Mike's.... I Know That He Was and Is A Very UNION MINDED Person. Mike Does Not Back Down When He Sees The Company Violating The Contract, He Is Not Afraid To Stand Up For His Rights and The Rights Of Others. His Name Is Known "Up In Canada" I Hope That Mike's "Outspoken Personality" Has Nothing To Do With The Company's Refusal To Re-Hire Him!!!!! Mike Knows That The Company Has No Obligation To Re-Hire Him.... He Wants The Company To Be Up Front and Tell Him THE TRUTH As To Why They Will Not Re-Hire Him. I Personally Feel That The Company Is Missing A GREAT OPPORTUNITY To Hire A Person That: Needs No Training.. Knows Air Canada.. Is Well Respected By His Peers.. AND Is A Proven Asset To The Company.. I HOPE AIR CANADA RECONSIDERS THEIR POSITION AND RE-HIRES MIKE TAYLOR. Rob (21 January 2000) |
TIME TO HAVE THE COMPANY MAKE GOOD ON DOMESTIC-PARTNER BENEFITS (updated 21 January 00)
In the middle of trying to Negotiate DOMESTIC-PARTNER BENEFITS into OUR Agreement. I was advised by a Member of The Union Negotiating Committee to "DROP" The Proposal. It was explained to me that there was no need to Discuss this Proposal, because The Company was GOING TO OFFER THIS BENEFIT TO ALL U.S. EMPLOYEES!! This fact was ALSO conveyed to me by a member of the Company's Negotiating Committee. I feel that .... WE NEED TO LET THE COMPANY KNOW THAT WE WANT THEM TO MAKE GOOD ON THEIR PROMISE!! THIS IS A BENEFIT THAT IS LONG OVERDUE. Please Leave Your Thoughts/Comments/Opinions On This Matter In "THE FORUM" Rob (21 January 00) |

"FORCED" OVERTIME !! (updated 21 Jan. 00)
I have received MANY CALLS from other stations regarding Management "Forcing" Agents to work past OR before their "SCHEDULED" shifts. (Being a Reservations Agent who has not seen O.T. in years) This is all pretty new to me. I ask that ALL Agents who are affected by this to... PLEASE ENTER YOUR COMMENTS IN THE ABOVE FORUM.. By all of us working TOGETHER I am sure we can come up with some answers to your problems!! Rob (21 Jan. 00) |
