MONTREAL - CUPE says 65 per cent of Air Transat flight attendants have voted in favour of a new collective agreement agreed to on July 8.
The union represents about 1,500 Air Transat (TSX:TRZ.A) flight attendants based in Montreal, Toronto and Vancouver.
CUPE says the five-year pact, retroactive to November 2010 when the previous contract expired, includes wage increases and pension upgrades.
In addition, says the union, the maximum shift length will remain at 14 hours -- not 15 hours as initially requested by the airline.
On June 16, the flight attendants overwhelmingly rejected a contract offer and voted 93 per cent in favour of giving the union a strike mandate.
CUPE, however, did not set a strike deadline.
