@terencengapuhi@GradyTripp00@MarkJCarney@PattyHajdu@liberal_party Industry standard ≠ legality. Labour law defines working time as all periods when staff are at the employer’s disposal (boarding, delays included). Consent to block-time pay doesn’t override statutory protections; minimum wage, fair remuneration, equity. Custom doesn’t trump law
@nobody_handmaid@KrisnaS85@springmagca@CUPEOntario For someone calling themselves Nobody’s Handmaid, you sure sound eager to treat FAs like disposable servants. They’re trained safety officers, not maids in the sky. Live up to your handle.✊🏼
@JeanPFournier Unions are following the law: organize, bargain, and, when permitted, withdraw labour. If the market lacks competition, that’s for Finance & Transport to fix, not for flight attendants to absorb.
@CTVNews Flight attendants’ Charter right to strike was stripped to protect Air Canada’s stock price. Now the case goes to a tribunal chaired by someone who worked 7 yrs for Air Canada. Neutral? Hardly

Now, the arbitration will be overseen by the Canada Industrial Relations Board, chaired by Maryse Tremblay, a former Air Canada lawyer.
Whose side is Ottawa on: Canadian workers, or corporate shareholders?

Air Canada flight attendants went on strike because they work unpaid hours.
Within hours, the federal government forced them back to work — protecting investors like BlackRock, which holds $200M in Air Canada shares.

Ottawa grounded the strike to protect investors like BlackRock ($200M in Air Canada shares), then handed the case to a CIRB chaired by a former Air Canada lawyer. Workers’ rights are being traded for shareholder comfort. #cdnpoli@AirCanada@cupenat#aircanadastrike
Grotesquely overpayed executives, stranding 30,000 customers and ruining a company because they refuse to respect the most basic work deal: pay workers for their hours of work
How much free labour did CEO Michael Rousseau give Air Canada?
