Remember when flying WestJet actually felt different? That airline is gone. WestJet’s flight attendants are fighting to bring back the airline you deserve. They need public support to stop the race to the bottom. endunpaidwork.ca

⚒️ Right to Strike
🇨🇦 In #Canada, the government ordered striking Air Canada flight attendants and postal workers back to work, forcing disputes into binding arbitration.
🛑 The #RightToStrike is a fundamental democratic right.
✊ Workers deserve to be heard — not silenced.

Canada's anti-scab law exists for a reason and must be enforced.
Today, I wrote to @PattyHajdu regarding reports that CPKC may be using replacement workers during the @IBEWCanada strike.
If true, these allegations must be investigated and addressed.
