TORONTO, Sept. 26, 2012 /CNW/ - Employees who fuel Porter aircraft and service and clean third party aircraft on the Toronto Island airport have been unionized.
The 21 employees work for Porter, Fixed Base Operations (Porter FBO), a division of the popular airline.
They are now members of the Canadian Office and Professional Employees Union (COPE), which represents 35,000 public and private sector workers across Canada.

COPE is now bargaining a first collective agreement with Porter.
