As the media will start to roll out anti union sentiment today, saying how reasonable the Air Canada offer is and how greedy the union is. Here is a reminder that sacrifices by the FA have already been made for 20 years and these are 10 year contracts. This is their only chance.
@JamesLowryLaw1@Iwearcoolshoes Doesnโt make it right, just like 7-day work weeks, child labour, 0 maternity leave were once industry standards.
FAs are working in that unpaid boarding time. Work = pay
@ashok_sj@PattyHajdu@AirCanada Industry standards are wrong!!
Child labour, no safety regulations, and no time off were industry standards once as well.

@molegalake44@JeffreykBrace And they are allowed to renegotiate 10 year old contracts. Would YOU be okay with getting docked an hour or more of your pay every shift?
@JeffreykBrace People need to know. Would you be okay with showing up for work in your uniform everyday, executing important safety-related procedures, and then not getting paid for the first hour?
@socom398838779@hankgreen@AndrewRozara But now you can make a bet anywhere with the device in your pocket - used to have to see a bookie. Youโre encouraged at every ad break to place a bet. And theyโll give you some free bets to get you started.
@hankgreen@AndrewRozara In Canada, it is illegal to advertise tobacco and the advertising of alcohol is restricted, but ads for sports betting appear at every commercial break. NBA commentators (for the Raptors at least) discuss the parlays during the broadcast.
@hankgreen The rise of sports betting is explored in the current season of Michael Lewisโ podcast, โAgainst the Rulesโ. Horrifying, frankly and a rapidly growing problem across the teens-twenties demographic.
