Hi Everyone, All employees currently on layoff status who do not have access to the Air Canada web portal will receive a paper T4 tax slip in the mail. According to the Canada Revenue Agency, an employer must provide you a T4 slip and file your T4 information return with the CRA on or before the last day of February of the following calendar year to which the information return applies. As February 28, 2021 falls on a Sunday, the employer’s deadline is the next business day (March 1, 2021). For more information or concerns, please contact the Canada Revenue Agency at: canada.ca/en/revenue-agency.html If you are unable to get clarification with the Canada Revenue Agency, please contact your regional bargaining committee representative.
In solidarity,
Your Air Canada Bargaining Committee

As you know the Bargaining Committee last year negotiated a one-year recall for all probationary employees. Many of you have sent emails requesting that the committee negotiate an extension to that year. The company refused to grant an extension; however, they did move the termination date of all employees to June 6, 2021. We have been advised that the employer has adjusted individual records to reflect the new June 6 termination date.
Please note that flight passes are cancelled once an employee has been terminated.
Additionally, we asked the company to identify probationary records on a preferential hiring list that can be actioned when the company starts to rehire from the street. As of yet the company has not responded to this request.
Further information will be communicated as it becomes available.
In solidarity,
Your Air Canada Bargaining Committee
