As a long term WS FA, I am proudly CUPE certified this evening. Times change, so must employee representation when necessary.

My job remains the same: To serve you, our customers to the best of my ability... that is all. That's why I do this as my career. YOU are the reason I have a job. Legally recognized representation changes nothing in terms of how I serve you, and how I ensure your safety.

Hopefully this is isn't forgotten in future collective bargaining discussions.

...AC employees said the same thing when they first unionized and look how well that turned out.

As author Chester Karrass has said: “You don't get what you deserve. You get what you negotiate.”
