Calgary flames won’t pay their hourly staff during Covid-19
Weird move by the flames organization not paying certain members of their staff during this outbreak. I hope those employees find a way through the struggle, and I pray this is over soon.
I noticed that Edmonton is paying their staff, doesn’t look great on us when our crazy northern neighbours are doing what they can for their employees.

I emailed my rep telling them to pay their damn hourly employees.
I'd be surprised if they didn't now because of the terrible pr they're getting. They look awful.

Yeah not a good look when other teams have stepped up
Hopefully they at least lay them off properly in the meantime so they can claim EI.
edit: Not that that'll help much at all being mostly part time I guess

Pretty low move, hope people put enough pressure on them to reverse this awful decision.

I will be contacting my account rep. Either they reverse the policy or I will not be renewing next year.

I'm not a STH but I'd like to voice my displeasure to the Flames on this one. Anyone have the proper email address to contact?

Murray Edwards is the Chairman at CNLR is he not? Tweet them, flames, flames PR, NHL. Email the team. Tweet and email the Fan and the media. Make them talk about. It’s already trending.
That’s all it takes, really. Pressure and time. They’ll cave.

I'd rather see the owners pay them instead of the players. Kind of curious though, does anyone know howuch this would be per game?

i really like the reaction on CP a lot more than what I'm reading on HF on this. It's shameful that anyone thinks the hourly staff shouldn't get helped out by the rich owners/players .

Aren’t like half the people volunteers there as punishment for their kids playing hockey anyways? I can’t imagine the staff is that huge.

With the amount of backlash from this, I'd be surprised if they didn't cave.

No kidding. With 4-5 hour shifts, a handful of times a week. Should be easily covered. And I’m sure these corporations will have a route to recoup losses from this.

This is where the Flames Foundation should step up (similar to the Penguins and Mario Lemieux Foundations). They have money earmarked to the community anyhow. It would not cost CSEC a penny.

I’d like to give the Flames the benefit of the doubt. With Ken Kings passing, lets say there is a temporary shift in focus. I expect them to do the right thing

I wrote them and told them that I will not be renewing my game pack for next season if this is how they treat the arena staff. I would rather the revenue go to the arena staff than to the hockey club. If that’s the choice they make, this is the choice I’m making.

Sometimes this organization is just as “No Good” as Edmonton. If they don’t pay, I hope when the NHL starts back up non of these part time employees go back and they have no one to run the food/merch stands

They tried to slide this through hoping no one would notice. When they reverse course, and they will, it will be a very public proclamation.
Just remember, the measure of a person’s character is what they would do if they knew no one would find out.

It's really hard to be a fan of this team sometimes.
