TO ALL IAMAW MEMBERS<\/strong>
\nHEALTH & SAFETY FOR SCREENING OFFICERS<\/strong><\/p>\n

Dear Brothers and Sisters<\/p>\n

The COVID-19 health crisis and the state of emergency that has been declared means we are operating in quickly changing circumstances that are hard to predict. Making this more challenging is that clear direction from Screening Contractors and CATSA, has proven difficult to obtain.<\/p>\n

Understandably, Members are urgently seeking answers and assurances under these difficult circumstances. Given the lack of information, please be assured that your union leadership, at all levels of the IAMAW, have been tirelessly working in collaboration with each other, attempting to obtain factual information. We are in constant communication with employers and other stakeholders seeking information to help give guidance and predictability to our members.<\/p>\n
