CUPE NL – Air Canada Rally Notice
The federal government has invoked Section 107 of the Canada Labour Code, stripping Air Canada flight attendants of their right to strike after less than 24 hours. This action exposes this government’s utter contempt for workers’ rights.
This heavy-handed intervention undermines the very foundation of free and fair collective bargaining – a right enshrined in Canadian law and upheld by international labour standards. Shamefully, this move follows a pattern of federal interference in labour disputes; always to the benefit of corporate interests.
In response, CUPE is holding a demonstration at MP Joanne Thompson’s office tomorrow:
DATE: Tuesday, August 19, 2025
TIME: 12:00 NOON
PLACE: MP Joanne Thompson’s Constituency Office Prince Charles Building
ADDRESS: 120 Torbay Road Suite E130
It’s time to fight back and send a clear message to this Federal government – hands off collective bargaining!
