Air Canada-Flugbegleiter, um Back-to-Work-Orden zu trotzen, bleiben Sie im Streik: Union

Good for them. Now we all need to phone our MPs and other politicians and tell them we don’t want them to take away the right to strike.

Good. When the government won’t respect your rights, including those to collective bargaining, there is only one course – you fight for those rights. That’s how all rights have always been earned and preserved. The irony of this is that the government cracking down is just emboldening Air Canada and going to make this much worse than it needs to be. You made this bed, neoliberals, time to lay in it.

As I said on another thread responding to the article:

The liberals tried to nip this issue in the bud by forcing them back to work before a strike could get going. Then had a former Air Canada big-whig as a part of arbitration team.

Terrible optics, two back to back decisions that only served to inflame tensions, while multiple polls showed explicitly that Canadians *overwhelmingly* favoured the flight attendants. Liberals crafted basically the perfect conditions to invite this sort of labour unrest. 

I fully expect the government to backtrack here; it’s probably their first big political blunder that’ll could really impact them and doubling down will look worse. This entire saga is stepping on a rake levels of unforced error from the LPC.
