IAM Welcomes 60 Aircraft Engineers At Sunwing

New Union Members Based At Pearson Airport In Toronto, Canada

Sunwing Aircraft Engineers and their supervisors based at Pearson Airport in Toronto, Canada have voted to join the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers.

"This is a solid group of workers. They stood together with the union throughout the whole process of certification. They stood as one," said the IAM District 140 Organizer Sam Jabbar.

I have never seen such solidarity among a group of workers like this in any other campaign – and I've worked on a lot of campaigns. This group was determined and motivated to join the IAM and nothing was going to stop them. Ultimately, nothing did," said Jabbar.

"Now the next step is to get them better wages, benefits and working conditions and we are ready for that step," he concluded.

The IAM is the largest aviation union in Canada representing aircraft engineers from coast to coast with Air Canada, Field Aviation and Air Transat.

Sunwing Airlines Inc. is a Canadian low-cost airline headquartered in the Etobicoke district of Toronto, Ontario and is the second-largest tour operator in Ontario.
