The IAM Union strongly condemns the recent use of Section 107 of the Canada Labour Code by the Canadian government in the ongoing dispute involving Air Canada flight attendants. This move undermines the principles of free collective bargaining, a fundamental right for all workers.
Collective bargaining should occur at the table, not be curtailed by government-imposed arbitration.
The IAM Union stands in full solidarity with Air Canada flight attendants, advocating for their right to negotiate fair working conditions without interference.
We are sharing our official letter sent to Minister Patty Hajdu, which outlines our concerns and calls for the government to respect workers’ rights and the integrity of the collective bargaining process.
