Obligatory fuck the CEOs and Shareholders

"We are bargaining. We are committed to reaching a deal. But we are saying that if that fails, the government should be ready to intervene and avoid the disruption," - Christophe Hennebelle (Air Canada’s vice-president of corporate communications)

this is not what a company that's negotiating in good faith does

NDP won't support interference

NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh said Thursday morning the party would not support efforts to force pilots back to work.

"We're going to send a clear message again that we are opposed to Justin Trudeau and the Liberals, or any government, interfering with workers," said Singh.

Government should be ready to prevent strike by forcing the two to negotiate.

“If the two parties are unable to reach an agreement, we will begin drafting legislation to re-nationalize the company”

Let’s make a real bargaining process happen. If the government is forced to intervene, for every day a negotiated contract is not signed, the company CEOs are directly fined 2 % of their total yearly compensation payable in the next tax year.

Would love to see the notwithstanding clause used for good, like, one time.
