CATCA President Best on medical leave
Doug Best, President of Local 5454, the Canadian Air Traffic Control Association (CATCA), announces that he will be taking medical leave. Doug initially began his leave in early February 2022 and hoped to return; however, the leave is now extended indefinitely.
As per CATCA’s Union By-laws, section 2, 7.21, “Notwithstanding Sub-article 7.23, should any Board position become vacant, for any reason, in the last six (6) months of the term, the Board shall not be required to conduct an election and the appointment may stand until the expiration of the term.”, the EB has appointed Nick von Schoenberg (RVP Pacific) as interim President until Doug is able to return or the end of his term which is June 30, 2022.
In Solidarity,
CATCA Executive Board
