    Before the strike begin AirCanada tried to strand most of it’s flight attendants work force in other country with no way home. After that they lied to their workers saying that if workers worked their flight home they will be paid, pressed by the Union and Strike Watchdog they finally admit that they had no intention to pay and that their work force were not protected by their collective agreement.

    When the Union tried to plan the operation closing in an orderly fashion with them, they ghost the union negotiator and wait that the cluster fuck begin to crawl to Patty Hajdu, Carney’s work minister, to pull out of her ass a fucking old law that’s borderline anticonstitutionnal.

    In the end the only responsible force behind this shit is AirCanada.

    Shut it down. Shut everything down until we get what we need. The alternative is basically annihilation anyway.

    Now is not the time to take risks with the economy… They said that to the flight attendants instead of to the ones who needed to hear it Canada air they’re the ones messing with the economy it is on them 100%.

      For real. If the almighty economy is such a concern, just pay the flight attendants what they’re worth and they’ll be back on the job immediately.

        EXACTLY - if it’s not time to fuck with the economy, why pressure only one side to cave?

      Nearly 300 times the salary of a starting flight attendant. IIRC AirCanada ask the liberal (Trudeau) government to bail them out in covid. One of the condition was that board members didn’t have a bonus more than 1 million for the year … do you know how much board members got ?
