Air Canada Strikers Dig In Against Order: ‘Can’t Fire Us All’

A representative said he wanted to “dismantle” a process that a Air Canada Union used to end the government’s strikes.

Wesley Lesosky, President of the Air Canada Component of the Canadian Public Employees Association, representing more than 10,000 cabin teams in a public video meeting on Sunday, said, “If we come together, they cannot fire us all. “The great national unity behind us completely supports us for our case and completely supports the dismantling of the 107 process.”

This is a reference to section 107, which is the legal substance used by the government to stop a strike on the wage that freezes the equipment in the largest airline in Canada.

Since Saturday, the strike has disrupted an important transportation mode for some communities in the second largest country in the world. The company estimated that approximately 130,000 passengers were affected per day during the most intensive summer holiday season.

On Saturday, the Minister of Labor ordered the Independent Canadian Industrial Relations Board to continue operations, expand their collective agreements, and binding arbitration practices to reach a new agreement.

The union challenged the order to return to work until 14.00 on Sunday and forced Air Canada to delay its plan to restart the weekend operations. Lesosky said Montreal -based carrier plans to continue the Toronto time on Monday at 16.00.

On Sunday night, it was unclear how the Labor Board, the Government or the Company would try to apply the order.

Lesosky is a hearing on whether the action is an illegal strike in front of CIRB on Sunday night. A trade union spokesman said that the Workers’ Board could determine it during the hearing itself.

Les We are ready to negotiate here, Les Lesosky said that it is an important part of the dispute with the company’s so -called ground payment, because the officials are currently paid to officials when the planes are in the air.

Uz We are not willing to accept the arbitration of attachment arbitration and to destroy our throat, ”he said.

An Air Canada spokesman said, ız Our priority is to cook our passengers and the effect of this illegal labor action on them, ”he said. CIRB did not respond to the request request.
