CIEH Posted May 22, 2008 Report Share Posted May 22, 2008 I don't know much about syndicates, but I thought there was a minimum number of employees to start the process. (I don't mean volunteers, but total number of emplyees in the company). If yes, do they reach that minimum ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skidz Posted May 22, 2008 Report Share Posted May 22, 2008 I spoke to a buddy who also used to work there. Apparently it's only the apprentices who've decided to unionise. They've signed their cards and given notice of their intention to obtain accreditation. If the company puts up any fuss, the process could take upwards of a year. One rumour has it that by then they will close the AMO there and have the work done under the AMO of one of the sister companies (Heli-Inter or Heli-Excel). If this pans out the way it's lookin', there's a bunch of apprentices who'll be looking for work shortly... I think in Quebec the minimum number of employees required to unionise is five, but don't hold me to those numbers. I could be wrong... Personally, I think HEPAC is a much more viable alternative to a union, but hey, I'm biased... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TwistedSpar Posted May 23, 2008 Report Share Posted May 23, 2008 hmmm....interesting. I was there a couple months ago....never had a clue this was in the cards for them. They all seemed happy and content, but overworked. I think a bunch of people made a grave error in judgement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elvis Posted June 20, 2008 Report Share Posted June 20, 2008 Is this a done deal? Machinists certify helicopter mechanics June 10, 2008, Montreal -On June 5, 2008 the IAMAW certified 17 workers employed by Hélicraft 2000 Inc. at St. Hubert airport on the south shore of Montréal. "We have been pushing hard to organize workers from the helicopter industry in Quebec,” said IAMAW District 140 Organizer Robert Savoie. " The 17 workers, who perform maintenance on helicopters, consist of certified mechanics, mechanics helpers and stores keepers; will become the newest members of IAMAW Local Lodge 1751. “The IAMAW is the aerospace union in Canada and we believe the decision by these employees to join us will have a spill-over effect on other workers in this industry,” added Savoie. IAMAW, among the largest industrial trade unions in North America, represents more than 700,000 active and retired members, and administers more than 5,000 contracts in transportation, woodworking, aerospace, manufacturing and defense related industries.

Skidz Posted June 20, 2008 Report Share Posted June 20, 2008 Spoke to my buddy this morning. There are currently no AME's employed there, except for management. All their AME's are contractors. Also heard the ops manager has resigned. Dunno if it's all a "done deal". Only time will tell... Stay tuned for another episode of "As the Rotor Turns".
