The title is misleading they have the legal right to strike
Corporate greed, pay workers reasonable rates.
Wait until WestJet goes bankrupt, and those commie MFs will be happy.
@@verar5844 they are all paid below scale garbage wages.
Help Me to Understand ; These Dutch/Germans Diederik Pen and Group are Telling The Canadian Government What To do About Canadian Workers??? Is This Foreign Interference ??
Didn’t follow the CIRB directive, unlike CN and CPKC, you guys rock!
The UNION Fight has given ALL Workers the 40 hour work week, safety, benefits and dignity.
I hope they'll reach to a decent pay wages for the workers 🙏
It’s time for Air Canada to swoop in with a price hike to help the situation.
What a dumb comment, to bring up airport taxes. Those taxes have been passed on to customers since their inception.
The talking h3ad is making shit up. It’s his modus operandi.
Seems like a lot of artificially created problems where the consumer ultimately is forced to pay up
the union must be taking a page from worstjets playbook - for the company to say its outraged by the union ignoring the government when worstjet's been thumbing its nose at the government and its passenger protection laws for years is a bit rich - no doubt the union has noticed the government is impotent and has done nothing to hold the airline accountable
Just shows airplanes don't fly with out AMEs signing them off as airworthy. Unions are much needed in the Aviation maintenance field. The forgotten AMEs that make less then car mechanics, heavy duty mechanics and other trades. But they have the knowledge on how to keep a +100million dollar life support machine in the air, safely.
Do a little investigating Mr. Reporter. Are they being paid at scale?? Useless babble. Ffs.
Good. Shut it all down
Air Canada bot!!!!
Been there myself a long time ago. It was the last time i ever worked a unionized job... I refuse ever to be in a union ever again. The mechanics want to take action to force the issue but the union is not backing them. Back when this hapoened me, the whole factory of 800 people theew their union cards on the floor & walked out. We wanted a work to rule which succeeded in just 1/2 a day without the union.
Unions are extremely important.
@@worstknightmayor4439 To their own summer cottages.
@@FirstLastOne my cottage is 4 seasons. I joined a trade union right out of high school.
Hey I know! The high paid executives are so valuable .. let them fix the airplanes!!
Shameful Oregan announced the strike has been averted, went to the LCBO and now he is off for the summer, another liberal job well done, sunny ways my friends"
When company goes broke you will still be able to fly Air Canada for twice the money. All good.
airlines are making money hand over fist. Hands behind their back? Give be a break @cpnews
Support west jet engineers. It’s about time someone union stood up to management. They don’t see what ame does but blame them. This should have been settled a long time ago not dragged to the last minute.
Flair Air is swooping in to help wja passengers. Dont strike out...fly with Flair!!
Please dont fly on any airline without knowing those airplanes are being regularly checked and serviced. We want to keep WestJet, but flying safely is the main concern. 22% wage increase? Is that fair?? Seems like alot.
take the train
To no where?
Been driving from toronto to Buffalo airport and fly Southwest. Still cheaper and better service than Pearson Intl. People should boycott Pearson.
@@FtMacMechanic1
Pearson has the most expensive landing/take off/gate and de-icing fees in the world! They're a joke!
certainly not the company the original boss stated, The company was just giving in one hand and taking back on the other so Self inflicted No pity, The federal government ordered the port workers back to work and as a result, their employer just sat on their butt and did nothing. Funny how things change when you got gov in your wallet.... just giving in one hand and taking back on the other so Self inflicted No pity, the govt didnt get an order they cant walk out sorry.. Re wages we hear stories of mechanics leaving airlines in Canada for other gigs that pay $10 more an hr and more.
I hope people remember this as being caused by the UNIONS not by the company screwing up their long weekend. Unions have gone nuts
LOL. Nothing to do with the airline at all. No.
When did Westjet become unionized?
In 2017 when relations with management (CEO Gregg Saretsky)deteriorated the pilots unionized.Since then other groups at the airline have also unionized.
@@neilwallace6756 : Ah. That explains why Westjet is shit now.
@@jimsmalleimb7709
I used to be a big Westjet supporter but they've lost their way.Stories of abandoning passengers and mishandled situations have deteriorated their image and reputation.I don't know if it's Westjet's own management or the Ownership/ board of directors at ONEX Corp. who own Westjet and Sunwing that are making these strategic and operational decisions. If I were flying within North America I would try Porter Airlines if they can accommodate your next travel schedule.I don't want to sound biased but I'm also no fan of Air Canada as they seem to think they're still a crown corporation of the federal government( 1970's and 1980's mentality of we can do no wrong and how dare you fly with someone else)which they no longer are.
@@neilwallace6756 : The thing that did it for me was the way they treated people who didn't mask up.
Power to the people! ✊🏽
WestJet is,
along with AirCanada two of the worst airlines Ive ever flown on,
any of the Asian airlines are so much better.
@@briandufoe3719
That's a bit of a blanket statement. I'm no fan of either Westjet or Air Canada but some of the Asian Carriers are just as bad or worse! I have to say JAL and ANA have never let me down yet!
@@neilwallace6756
I stand by my statement,
I've flown with many of the Asian carriers,
WestJet and AirCanada are low end airlines.
Trudeau's policy's are not helping with this.
What policies specifically?
@@Harry-hq8fi @scottcook1586 won't respond. he's blinded by his 'i want to have sex with trudeau' flag.
pride weekend, you know.
This has literally nothing to do with Trudeau or the government in any way.
You dont need mechanics. Hire five hundred diversities and teach them to pen whip. It works for trudeaus cabinet.
