Gutsy move by the flight attendants, refusing to be bullied. The whole country should be behind them because the decline of unions parallels the decline of the middle class. Nothing terrifies cowardly gazillionaires like Jeff Bezos like the threat of strong unions.
I was a unionized worker for 13 years. I support their right to strike.
Air Canada is no longer a crown corporation and should therefore not rely on the federal government to help solve any work or contract disputes they may have, such as with the pilots (September 2024) and now with the flight attendants.
Stranding 10s of 1000s is a national security concern.
How so? Air Canada is not the only airline in the world. This is not COVID.
Lol It's effectively half the airlines in Canada.
LOL. Extra business for WestJet. Also, Air Canada Jetz is not affected by this strike.
Lol West jet doesn't have the capacity and will absolutely raise ticket prices. Demand vs supply.
Unhappy for those stranded, obviously. A national security issue? Come on.
10s of 1000s of suddenly homeless people is a national security issue. Gotta get back for your scheduled medical procedure?
"Homeless." Right. Have a nice day.
Money runs out pretty quick when you're paying for hotels.
Thanks Jack I’ve been retired four years, but I did that job 35 years. I definitely support what they are doing.
I’m a federal worker in the DC area and our weak unions allowed the tRump regime to trample on our collective bargaining agreements which had allowed hybrid telework schedules. Federal unions aren’t allowed to strike here. So if a union has option to strike., do it and don’t back down.
Damn straight ✊
Exactly Which is why Amazon shut down their warehouse in Quebec
Air Canada may have to reimburse my 14k$ return flight from Europe . An airline run by monkeys
Can’t believe back to work order came so fast, that doesn’t seem fair. Unions do have to be a bit more transparent or honest in their communications. Arguing publicly for pay while aircraft aren’t moving is disingenuous when the hourly wage is inflated and compensates for it, for example.
