Recent Federal Government Cutbacks vs. Air Travel Security
As Screening Officers, it is our professional responsibility to inform the air-traveling public of the consequences arising from the recent--and future--government cutbacks to our screening jobs and hours.
By decreasing the strength of our security workforce, the risks increase to the safety of air travel. Without sufficient hours and Sreening Officers, the workload--and resulting fatigue--will increase for the remaining Screening Officers. This diminished alertness will decrease the safety of our skies.
We--the screening officers--are taking a firm and conscientious stand for our work conditions. We ask you, the traveling public, to urge the government to restore its financial support for air-travel security. By signing this petition, you are reminding the government that air-travel safety is important.
Thank you for your much needed support.

The federal government is gambling with our lives to save a few pennies. They continue to ignore our demands while they gut the safety measures we rely on.

The government thought they could gut our security and that nobody would notice. This surge in support proves they were dead wrong and now they have no choice but to face the people whose safety they are gambling with.

Flights are stressful enough without worrying if the staff is burnt out. Stop the cuts.
We need more security not less. The gov needs to get their act together.
My husband works at the airport and says morale is in the toilet. Leave the safety budget alone.
WHAT ARE THEY THINKING?! Safety isnt the place to pinch pennies.
Ridiculous that they think they can just do more with less people. Flying is dangerous enough.
Always cutting back on screeners They are needed to protect the Canadians.
