As someone with a forthcoming #AirCanada flight, I get why the government is so keen to get things moving again ASAP.
But the way to do that is by putting pressure on the company to meet worker demands NOT by forcing workers to concede to executive demands.

Air Canada's striking flight attendants on Sunday refused a government-backed labor board's order to return to work, forcing the airline to delay restarting its operations and leaving its passengers in limbo. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/business/2025/08/18/companies/strike-air-canada-back-to-work-order/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #business #companies #aircanada #unions #canada #airlines
@thejapantimes reminder that #AirCanada could have end this in last December, they refuse. When the union give their 72h before strike notice, #AirCanada choose to quit the negotiations table and ghost union negotiator that was trying to find a way to end the operations in a orderly fashion. #AirCanada choose this clusterfuck. #AirCanadaStrike#UnpaidWorkersWontFly

Unpaid labour you are required to give your employer to keep your position is straight up exploitation. It’s very simple and should not be allowed under any circumstances. If a business or industry claims it just can’t make ends meet without exploiting its workers, then our answer should be the same as when southern plantation owners made the same ‘economic’ argument.
Air Canada flight attendants to defy back-to-work order, remain on strike.

In an almost unthinkable display of conflict-of-interest, a former Air Canada legal counsel, Maryse Tremblay, will rule on whether to end job action by striking Air Canada flight attendants at the Canada Industrial Relations Board.
Full-time junior Air Canada flight attendants currently earn $1,952 a month before taxes. That’s slightly over $12/hr. Meanwhile, Air Canada did $22 billion in revenue & $3.6 billion in EBITDA last year.
And people seriously want to blame stranded passengers on flight attendants who don’t want to work for free?
new rule: if a country's government steps in to break up a strike then the company's execs don't get any pay raises or bonuses for n years. maybe freeze their stock sales and block the company's buybacks too

The right to strike is meaningless if the government orders binding arbitration and back to work every time a strike becomes ‘disruptive’ … disruption is the point of a strike - it’s how labour action works - not allowing it undermines workers.
As a result of this readiness to jump to intervention, government is encouraging CEOs to push workers toward strikes rather than negotiating in good faith.

The Canadian government on Saturday moved to end a strike by Air Canada's cabin crews and require binding arbitration to break their contract impasse. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/business/2025/08/17/canada-end-air-canada-strike/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #business #canada #airlines #unions #strikes #aircanada
