CUPE national secretary-treasurer Candace Rennick says Porter is an amazing Canadian success story and the cabin crew deserve to share in that success.

CUPE already represents 18,500 cabin crew at other airlines across the country including Air Canada and WestJet.

Porter started flying in 2006 based at Billy Bishop Toronto City Airport on the city’s waterfront.

It has grown to offer service across North America.
