12 hours into a walkout over unpaid work at Air Canada the Canadian government ordered striking flight attendants to return to work.
Mark Hancock, National President of the Canadian Union of Public Employees, tore up the order and spoke to a huge crowd of CUPE members saying “I’m expected to direct you to go back to work. I’m expected to end this strike. That ain’t happening. This strike will end when we get a Collective Agreement that works for our members.” (Photo: Unifor)
