I am so proud of this union for sticking with it. The government should have no say when it comes to collective bargaining.
Flight attendants have been doing unpaid work for far too long.
I wonder what moral philosophy could justify imprisoning someone for refusing to work under the terms of their agreement. I suppose it's the same premise used to justify slavery.
In my view, you can have expectations about people and the nature of work in your business, and I can have expectations about what and how I'm compensated, my rights, and my roles if I work for your business. If we don't meet each other's expectations, we go our separate ways. In no way, should either of us, nor the state, imprison us if we refuse terms, unless a party breaks the law.
The real question, perhaps, is, "when and why is it against the law to refuse to work?"
I was planning on using Air Canada when I went to Iceland next year. But, if they're on strike, good for them. It's high time air flight employees were treated and paid better.
Based union leaders. Screw oligarchs!
Is it too soon to use Trump's "Fight!"×3 GIF?
Good. About time a union actually had a backbone
If you are important enough to be legislated back to work you are important enough to be paid a living wage.
Doesn't matter what government you pick, liberal values are closer to conservative values than leftist values.
Bravo, I respect those union leaders
Carney is such a moron. This is such a gift to MAGA wannabe Pierre Poilievre...
if it is illegal to go on strike, then this union is not a union. the power of the workers comes from the ability to withhold required manpower for operations to continue if you are treated poorly. when workers do not have this leverage, corporations will treat its employees as poorly as possible.
Are airline staff counted as critical workers? In the UK I think it's only Police, fire and military who are banned from striking.
