Winnipeg - Contract negotiations have begun between CALM Air and their 35 flight attendants, represented by the Canadian Union of Public Employees.

We want a workplace that flight attendants will view as a career and not as a stepping stone to another job or another airline, said Carolyn Peters, president of the CALM Air Component of CUPE. Improvements to our wages and working conditions will be a priority in this round of bargaining. We intend to put more money in the pockets of Flight Attendants and improve our pension and benefit plans.

Negotiations will resume in mid-December in Thompson, Manitoba.
