"We can't force our people to work, so let's call on someone who can!"
Don’t know about you but I wouldn’t feel comfortable flying an airline where workers are being beaten-down by the government to do their jobs.
Probably not a safe travel environment.
Ridiculous, just look at the quality work that Boeing extracts from it's beaten down employees!
Super, let’s resolve all our labor issues by not negotiating knowing we’ll get backstopped by the government.
we’ll get backstopped by the government.
Air Canada has been relying on that since its inception.
Government should be ready to prevent strike by forcing the two to negotiate.
“If the two parties are unable to reach an agreement, we will begin drafting legislation to re-nationalize the company”
Let’s make a real bargaining process happen. If the government is forced to intervene, for every day a negotiated contract is not signed, the company CEOs are directly fined 2 % of their total yearly compensation payable in the next tax year.
When cost of living is up, union support should be non negotiable.
Why am I not surprised that air canada is trying to ... over it's own employees? sigh
Wink wink nudge nudge Labour Minister, CIRB, you know what I'm saying, eh? - Air Canada CEO
Air Canada is not a vital service (some of the little bush airlines that are the only way in or out of remote communities might be, but not them). Believing that the government should intervene on their behalf is such excessive hubris that I can't even.
Fun fact, if you can't strike you don't have unions.
No, you can quit though, which would have a similar effect if the labour market wasn't being fucked with low-cost labour.
I mean, if you're going with the libertarian logic, we don't need unions, but there's also no such thing as "low-cost labour". People get paid what they're worth to employers.
If you want wages higher than that, you need collective bargaining.
Here's the big question: is the NDP willing to bring down the Government if the CPC force this topic into a confidence vote?
