Re: Air Canada workers could go on strike Monday Well, the pilot lockout has been blocked the the Feds.

It should be quite clear now that the government is not going to allow any long work stoppage at Air Canada.

London, ON | makes sense...it would be extremely disruptive (a work stoppage)...however, i still think it is clear AC is not capable of being profitable operating the way they do.

All one needs to do is look at airfares to know that. |

Leave it to a Conservative government to usurp the rights of workers. |

Actually, Raitt's move stops the potential strike of the unionized mechanics, cargo agents, baggage handlers, cleaners and electricians but it also blocks Air Canada from locking out the pilots.

Tell me how does

“an immediate and serious danger to the safety or health of the public.”
Apply here?
Workers go on strike, the only health and safety issues are those stranded in other cities and that's pushing it.
More anti-union rhetoric from our government, who on one hand want the markets to be "free" but free from the unions only.

No, I didn't. Honest... I ran out of gas. I... I had a flat tire. I didn't have enough money for cab fare. My tux didn't come back from the cleaners. An old friend came in from out of town. Someone stole my car. There was an earthquake....... |

How asinine on your behalf.
These so-called bums took a pay cut years ago to help the company restructure when it was in a dire financial straits. The only bums here are the upper management/executives and the current government. |

i'm not sure about the "health and safety" part, but the disruption of airline service would be a very bad thing...many people have vacations booked/planned and with the economy being quite fragile, this is not the time to have an airline work stoppage...as the airline industry is federally regulated, the government is well within their rights to not allow a work stoppage...something federal governments have done many times over the years, regardless of political stripe (but you knew that).

| If you read the justification, that's the clause they used in the labour code to prevent the strikes/lockouts.
The government is not well within their rights to stop a work stoppage, this is a private company, and the reason they are so "critical" to the economy is because successive governments have allowed them to beat up or bankrupt their competitors.
Open the skies, let the Yanks in, and see how well Air Canada does when it doesn't have a virtual monopoly.

The needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few. Unless the few are union members, in which case they are more equal than the many.

i know that is the clause used, but i'm not sure i really agree with "health and safety" here...that said, a work stoppage with AC is unacceptable.

yes, it is a private company, but as Canada's National Carrier, it is also heavily regulated...we discussed this before.

it wouldn't...which is why they should just do it.

Health: serving small town and providing transport to sick people to a hospital in a big city for an operation.
Safety: if maintenance of aircraft is jeoperdized, and aircraft could fall out of the sky and fall on 24 sussez, the CN tower, or worse, one of Tony Clement's gazebos 
The health and safety is far more important for Jazz which does serve the small communities and is often the only provider of transportation to a town. |
