BUILDING RELATIONSHIPS ALPA continues to build upon its existing relationships while forging new ones. The Association regularly engages with Transport Minister Marc Garneau to further pursue strategic priorities, including flight-time/duty-time regulations, UAS/ UAV policies, unsafe laser usage, non- passenger screening/RAIC, user fees and taxes, Safety Management Systems, and legislation affecting Canadian pilots. ALPA also continues to have ongoing discussions with Minister of Employment, Workforce Development, and Labour Patty Hajdu to address other important issues affecting ALPA members such as representation/collective bargaining and pilot supply (see page 7). In addition, the Association engages regularly on behalf of its Canadian members with the Canada Industrial Rela- tions Board; the Canadian Air Transport Security Authority; the Federal Mediation and Conciliation Service; NAV CANADA; the Royal Canadian Mounted Police; Immi- gration, Refugees, and Citizenship Canada; and the Transportation Safety Board. LEGISLATION Bill C-4―An act to amend the Canada Labour Code, the Parliamentary Employment and Staff Relations Act, the Public Service Labour Relations Act, and the Income Tax Act On June 19, 2017, Bill C-4 passed and received Royal Assent. The bill removes the mandatory secret-ballot vote implemented by Bill C-525 and restores the bargaining agent certification and decertification procedures to the former card-check model.

SPECIAL RULES REQUIRE SPECIAL LABOR PROTECTION ALPA served as a member of the U.S. delegation to the talks during the U.S.–EU Open Skies agreement negotiations. The As- sociation cautioned at the time that loosening the ownership and control requirement for the EU would allow its airlines to “shop” for the most advantageous regulatory, tax, and labor policies among the EU countries’ 28 sets of regulations and laws. Despite ALPA’s warning, the first stage of the U.S.–EU agreement didn’t include labor protections. Shortly after it took effect, an EU airline established a subsidiary in an EU country other than its home nation—exactly the regulatory-shopping model ALPA had predicted and that would harm labor. In response, ALPA and other U.S. and EU unions successfully pressed during the second stage of negotiations for a provision to be added that would protect labor. Titled Article 17 bis, the historic U.S.–EU ATA labor article states that opportunities under the agreement are not intended to be used to undermine labor U.S. WORKERS standards.
