Air Canada and the union representing its pilots have come to terms on a labor agreement that is likely to prevent a shutdown of Canada’s largest airline.
Talks betwen the company and the Air Line Pilots Association produced a tentative, four-year collective agreement, the airline announced in a statement early Sunday.
The prospective deal recognizes the contributions of the pilots flying for Air Canada and Air Canada Rouge while setting a new framework for company growth. The terms will remain confidential until ratification by union members and approval by the airline’s board of directors over the next month, the airline said.
No kidding. It’s amazing how fast a deal can be made one they found out the government would not force back to work legislation.
The gov’t did the right thing this time around by refusing to intervene. If they had hinted otherwise, we wouldn’t be hearing about an agreement today.
Totally agree
Had the feds hinted they’d interfere in the railway one?
Told the corporations they would
And for those who would like to cite sources, here’s a couple (where the feds hinted, without directly saying, that an invention was on the table).

In fact, I think you could get the sense that they’d have intervened as far back as May, when the feds used the Canada Industrial Relations Board to delay a possible strike back then, https://www.canadiancattlemen.ca/daily/federal-government-moves-to-push-back-possible-rail-strike/
