Air Canada earned CA$ 1.76b (~ $ 1.276b) in 2024 and their CEO made almost CA$ 13.000.000.
Nearly 300 times the salary of a starting flight attendant. IIRC AirCanada ask the liberal (Trudeau) government to bail them out in covid. One of the condition was that board members didn’t have a bonus more than 1 million for the year … do you know how much board members got ?

Shut it down. Shut everything down until we get what we need. The alternative is basically annihilation anyway.
Nice ✊
Fuck Air Canada and the Canadian goverment
Before the strike begin AirCanada tried to strand most of it’s flight attendants work force in other country with no way home. After that they lied to their workers saying that if workers worked their flight home they will be paid, pressed by the Union and Strike Watchdog they finally admit that they had no intention to pay and that their work force were not protected by their collective agreement.
When the Union tried to plan the operation closing in an orderly fashion with them, they ghost the union negotiator and wait that the cluster fuck begin to crawl to Patty Hajdu, Carney’s work minister, to pull out of her ass a fucking old law that’s borderline anticonstitutionnal.
In the end the only responsible force behind this shit is AirCanada.
