Air Canada’s Tech Ops, Maintenance & Ops Support Workers Ratify 4-Year Deal

Representing 11,000 employees in Air Canada’s Technical Operations, Maintenance and Operational Support (TMOS) group, the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers (IAMAW) has ratified a new collective bargaining agreement.

The four-year deal is in effect retroactively from April 1, 2026 through March 31, 2030.

Six collective agreements have now been concluded at Air Canada this year. The TMOS deal follows earlier ratifications by 170 Finance employees (IAMAW), 115 Clerical employees (IAMAW), approximately 6,000 Customer Service employees (Unifor), 100 Flight Operations Crew Schedulers (Unifor), and 90 In-Flight Crew Schedulers (Unifor).

“The commitment shown by both Air Canada and the IAMAW throughout these negotiations reflects our shared objective of reaching meaningful agreements that support our employees and the company’s continued growth,” said AC president and CEO Michael Rousseau.

“A key priority for us was further acknowledging the skilled expertise and valuable contributions of our TMOS employees. Now that new agreements have been successfully concluded with all major unions after the expiration of the previous long-term contracts, we are well-positioned to advance our New Frontiers strategic plans and deliver even greater value to Air Canada’s stakeholders.” 

The IAMAW represents more than 11,000 employees in Air Canada’s TMOS group, Finance, and Clerical at Air Canada, through three separate contracts.
