To CUPE Local 5558 Members,
Devastating news was announced yesterday from Lynx Air regarding the decision they have made to cease operations and close the airline indefinitely.
We understand that this announcement brings uncertainty, and we acknowledge the impact this decision has on each and every one of you. The closure of operations is a significant blow, and it is natural to feel a range of emotions in response to such news. Please know that your feelings are valid, and you are not alone during this difficult time.
While the closure brings about significant challenges, it is important to recognize that our unionized status affords us certain rights and benefits that may help mitigate the impact of these changes.
Even without a collective agreement in place, Lynx CCMs are stronger together as a union. CUPE will continue to advocate fiercely on behalf of Lynx members, fighting for whatever you are legally entitled to during this transition period.
CUPE will continue to represent and assist you to the best of our ability.
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact us.
