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.”
Get fucked Canadian government. This doesn’t involve you…I cant fucking stand when governments think they can legislate a strike and tell people they have to go back to work or else.
If a company wants to end a strike, they can pay their workers a livable wage, with proper vacation and sick pay. Its not that hard.
