Air Canada flight attendants said on Sunday they will remain on strike and challenge a return-to-work order they called unconstitutional, defying a government decision to force them back to their duties by 2 p.m. ET (1800 GMT).
Air Canada had said it planned to resume flights on Sunday evening, a day after the Canadian government issued a directive to end a cabin crew strike that caused the suspension of around 700 daily flights, stranding more than 100,000 passengers.
The Canadian Union of Public Employees said in a statement that members would remain on strike and invited Air Canada back to the table to “negotiate a fair deal.”
This is apparently the case in the whole industry and its ridiculous.
It’s not a criminal conspiracy, it’s a longstanding commonly accepted industry practice, completely different things! /s
I said this in another thread but could you imagine if call center workers were only paid when they’re actually on the phone? That would be ludicrous.
If my employer tried to tell me I’m only getting paid when I’m actively using the equipment instead of the whole time I setting up and transferring materials, I’d have to get in line to set the place on fire
Be sure to save the red stapler.
