@cbcnews: Jobs Minister Patty Hajdu is sending striking Air Canada flight attendants back to work, less than a day after they walked off the job. She also ordered the union representing workers and Air Canada to return to the negotiating table through binding arbitration. #AirCanada #Strike #AirTravel #Flying #Labour #Moment #CBCNews
If the government can force them back to work, why can’t they force the company to just pay them a living wage?

What just happened with Air Canada should scare every Canadian. With one stroke, Ottawa used Section 107 to silence a legal strike and force workers into a deal they didn’t agree to. If they can do it to flight attendants, they can do it to nurses, teachers, or anyone who dares walk off the job. This isn’t about flights anymore — it’s about whether Canadians have the right to fight for fair work at all.

Do they not realize the flight attendants are also Canadian?

This was not done for Canadians. This was done for corporate interests.

flight attendants only get paid after the wheels start rolling. last time I went into work I started getting paid as soon as I started working.💀

Funny how the Canadian government decides the airlines are non essential during COVID and now deeming them essential when they want to strike for better wages. Ironic

I hope my flight goes through next week or they just cancel it asap. I’ll never book an Air Canada ticket ever again. This happens too much.

As a liberal voter, I feel betrayed. For all the big talk from Carney about the importance of supporting Canadians during his campaign, he sure is enjoying letting the millionaire CEOs trump the rights of Canadian workers

Unpopular opinion however, people are literally stranded, waiting on pharmaceuticals, losing money they can’t get back for pre booked vacations. Air Canada can and should pay flight attendants more, however in this case the number of people affected due to flight disruptions far outweighs the number of flight attendants. They needed to keep working and negotiating, I think this was the right call
