ATU Local 113’s statement on the Air Canada strike

The right to strike is a fundamental right guaranteed by the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms. Transit workers represented by Amalgamated Transit Union Local 113 know only too well how strike bans were weaponized to impose unfair and unjust terms on workers and to thwart free collective bargaining.

Air Canada asked for arbitration so they can force flight attendants to work 30-40 hours a month for nothing.

Local 113 stands proud in support of CUPE flight attendants and their right to strike.
