Dear Local 531 Members,
We are writing with a heavy heart regarding the tragic aviation accident at LaGuardia Airport late Sunday night. Reports have confirmed that flight AC8646 from Montreal struck an Airport Rescue and Firefighting (ARFF) vehicle on the runway shortly after landing.
On behalf of Unifor Local 531, the union extends our deepest condolences to the families, friends, and colleagues of the two pilots who lost their lives. This loss is felt profoundly across the aviation community, and we stand in solidarity with everyone impacted by this tragedy.
As professionals in this industry, we understand how distressing such incidents can be. If you require support, please reach out to the Employee Family Assistance Program (EFAP) through Greenshield+. If you are a first-time user or need assistance accessing these services, please contact your DPM for more information.
Please take care of yourselves and one another as we navigate this difficult time together.
In solidarity,
Erica Kelly
President, Unifor Local 531
