Stephen Lussier

With over 27 years of experience as a union/bargaining representative, I have acquired valuable insights and skills. My background as a bargaining representative, combined with my life experiences, equips me to tackle this challenge effectively.

My ultimate goal is to assist the members of the smaller units within Unifor Local 2002 in better understanding and effectively utilizing the language in their collective agreements. This preparation will enable them to meet with management confidently and defend their rights.

As a dedicated team member, I have helped negotiate four collective bargaining agreements (CBAs)—three with AIMIA (Aeroplan group) and the most recent with Air Canada. Our bargaining team is proud to have achieved gains for our members over the past 15 years, without making any concessions in our negotiations. As of early Decembert 2024 our Unifor Loyalty Bargaining committee will be entering our 5th round of bargaining with Air Canada.
