The union has reported Porter FBO employees
would receive in the settlement a lump sum
payment, a series of monetary and non-monetary
gains, scheduling changes, grandfathering
clauses for employees and wage negations would
be reopened next year. However, there was no
mention as to a percentage in annual wage
increases.
"When you add it all up it's good for both
parties and the members were pleased as you can
tell from the ratification process. First
contracts are hard and I think everybody learned
from this particular experience. The gains that
they made, I think they felt it was worth it."
Brad Cicero a spokesman for Porter said the
agreement was in line with another contract
settled earlier this year without a strike for
44 Porter cleaners and facilities team members
represented by another union.
Porter Airlines along with Porter FBO Limited,
which operates the Porter facilities at Billy
