Once again, a federally regulated employer could treat a labour dispute without any urgency knowing the federal government would jump in and provide them with cover. Why negotiate in good faith? Ottawa will get you up and running again, just as it did last year with federal port workers, railway workers and postal workers.

Air Canada Flight Attendants expose flaw in Canadian labour law, AND teach Canadian government about negotiation.

By refusing and defying the federal illegal back to work order, Flight Attendants have signed a Tentative Agreement with Air Canada.

I hope their lesson in Canadian labour law has taught not just the Carney government but all future Canadian and Provincial governments, workers are tired of you breaking the constitution to harm workers.
