The only reason Air Canada staff are getting their stories out is bc they’re unionized. Imagine some of the horror millions of other workers are going through that they can’t afford to get out to the public. Unions change lives & protect workers in ways that others don’t have.
@MattSpoke@Bigbush91 Would you do work for your employer… for free? Probably not. You’d also change your mind real quickly in the event of a plane crash or emergency. Wake up, flight attendants deserve to be fairly compensated and paid for ALL hours worked.
First real fumble of the Carney govt is happening as we speak. Public is firmly behind CUPE across multiple polls and yet the government sides with AC!
@PattyHajdu As a constituent of your riding, shame on you. Corporate greed over the people, and government collusion on top of that. Disgusting. Unpaid work won’t fly, Patty.
If @MarkJCarney, @PattyHajdu, and the @liberal_party government think that flight attendants shouldn’t be paid for their work when planes aren’t in the air, then Parliamentarians shouldn’t be paid unless Parliament is in session.
CUPE president Mark Hancock says union will not obey back to work order. I asked him if he’s prepared to go to jail over Air Canada flight attendants’ strike.
“So be it” he said.
@AirCanada It’s YOUR doing @AirCanada. Your operations would not be possible without your Flight Attendants hard work. Pay them fairly, bargain in good faith. Shame on you AC.
STAND TOGETHER - BE HEARD - MAKE A DIFFERENCE: Air Canada Component of @cupenat is holding solidarity rallies tomorrow! All CUPE Ontario members are invited to join @AirCanada flight attendants tomorrow at T1, Toronto Pearson, 9-11am #upaidworkwontfly
As Air Canada starts cancelling flights today to prepare for the impending lockout (we’ll no longer call it a strike because AC has served notice of lockout with NO intention of bargaining), it’s important to remember this work stoppage is to end the unpaid labour of 10,000
If you are wondering which political parties “works for workers” attend your local #DayOfMourning ceremonies & note who is present.
All workers should come home from work whole.
People take time for what matters
