Guest The Clumsy Lover Posted May 19, 2003 Share Posted May 19, 2003 Where do you dream this sh%t up man... for gods sake stop fear mongering. From the Globe and Mail.. Last Friday, Judge Farley appointed Mr. Justice Warren Winkler as a facilitator because he was concerned that the labour talks were moving slowly. Sources say Judge Winkler has told the airline to prepare a formal proposal to present to its unions next Wednesday in Montreal. The unions would then have a short time to respond. Judge Farley has often told lawyers involved in Air Canada's proceedings to negotiate harder and faster. But yesterday was the first time he has been so blunt about the repercussions if the restructuring were to fail and said there would be "significant negative effects for Canada" if the job of filling the gap fell to foreign carriers. Judge Farley also said it would be a "very significant mistake" for management or the unions to see the talks as "labour negotiations." So to sum it up for you the Judge has appointed Mr. Winkler and his big stick to get ready to solve the problem for all parties if they don't get their collective crap together. He has given the company till Wednesday to give the plan to the unions and it is then up to them to bring the numbers within the box. He doesn't care how they do it, just get the numbers to fit and have all parties stop dragging their buts. Like he said it would be a big mistake to consider this negotiations. In my opinion he is basically saying solve the problem now or I will have my guy solve it for you and then no one is going to be happy.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest jimmy Posted May 19, 2003 Share Posted May 19, 2003 No, no. The LATEST rumour is that on Wednesday Westjet, realizing that they are causing Air Canada difficulty, will stop flying as a "good will" gesture. That's about as likely as your rumor.

DEFCON Posted May 20, 2003 Share Posted May 20, 2003 So why did RB have a little fit on Justice Winkler ultimately leading to his and ACPA's departure from the meetings? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Kilo Mike Posted May 20, 2003 Share Posted May 20, 2003 Defcon. The explaination given to ACPA members made sense, and I for one think that it is a good thing. Stand by for further..........

Guest Kilo Mike Posted May 20, 2003 Share Posted May 20, 2003 "sugar coted what really happened " ..( pst it's spelled coated. ) Oh really? I guess you were present, or are you basing this little tidbit on the illustrious Jazz MEC's perspective. Last I heard..The meetings were behind closed doors and ACPA's was done without the other groups present. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
