"We welcome the flight attendants from Sunwing to the CUPE family," said Paul Moist, national president of CUPE. "Flight attendants, like all workers, want to have decent paying jobs with rock solid health and safety provisions. At CUPE our track record defending workers speaks for itself and we look forward to representing Sunwing flight attendants," said Moist.
CUPE is Canada's largest airline union. With workers from Sunwing, CUPE now represents nearly 10,000 flight attendants at both large and smaller air carriers including: Air Canada, Air Transat, CanJet, First Air, Cathay Pacific, CALM Air, Canadian North, and the ground agents at Porter Airlines in Ottawa.
