People in this thread are acting like they're demanding six figure salaries and 8 weeks of paid vacation.

Considering the first several years of doing the job you make less than $40k a year and don't even get paid for all the hours you work, I don't think this strike is that unreasonable. Air Canada knew they didn't have to negotiate in good faith because they could get the government to force them back to work, now they're doing the fake incredulous act that the union called them on their BS.

The conflict of interest thing is what is going to be interesting to watch. The chair of the CIRB, that gave the return to work order, worked for Air Canada for seven years until 2023.
