The plan was for OUR Govt to break the union and order them back to work using the obscure Section107 labour code used by Liberal Govt since 2024‼️
(BTW IT IS Currently BEING LEGALLY CHALLENGED BY Canadian unions.)
Meanwhile #JOBSminister #PattyHadju, does the media circuit unaware of this blunder
The union's proposed wind down and ramp up agreement was posted to a website dedicated to the strike. It outlined that bringing union members home would be Air Canada's responsibility and that members could operate the flights home, if needed, under the Collective Agreement. Air Canada has urged the federal government to step in and bring the negotiations to binding arbitration, while the union has strongly opposed it. Jobs Minister Patty Hajdu publicly encouraged the two parties to come to a contract agreement.
The two have been struggling to find a middle ground on wage and unpaid work. On Thursday, Air Canada released details about its proposal to the union at the time, saying hourly pay would increase by 12 to 16 per cent in the first year, which would include an 8-per-cent increase, alongside changes to ground pay, which is pay for flight attendants when the plane is not in the air.
The two have focused on different aspects of compensation in their public remarks: the union on wages and the airline on total compensation. Air Canada has said that the proposed compensation pack-age, which would include benefits and pension, would make the workers the best compensated in Canada.
Union representatives have repeatedly criticized the current pay structure for flight atten-dants, saying that when rookie flight attendants' wages are divided over the hours worked, they don't even earn minimum wage. The union issued the carrier a notice to bargain in December, 2024, ahead of the collective agreements expiration in March.
#Canadian #JOBSMINISTER #PATTYHADJU stay out of #AIRCANADA negations.
