Good. I can’t believe how many unpaid hours these people work. I don’t get how it’s legal.
I think there might have been some reasonable rationale behind it at one point, but they were paid much better to account for it with a higher hourly rate and great benefits because of it.
But all that’s been erooded to the point of being close to a minimum wage job for new hires now and there’s probably even more responsibilities now resulting in more unpaid work, so it never scaled appropriately.
Air Canada also said it was willing to pay flight attendants 50% of their wage for work done before planes take off, leading the union to reply that its members should be fully compensated for their labour.
Where does this come from? Zero compensation for work on the ground…? And now offering 50 % instead of simply normal wage? Why?
Because it would cut into quarterly profits and executive bonuses!
But historically how did this happen? There must be a reason for this.
Flight attendants would need to answer half of the passengers’ questions, board only one side of the plane.
Union strong 💪
Where’s my curly wurly?
Pal-o-Mine for me please
Damn right
why isn’t the government ordering the employers to pay their workers? seems like a better strategy than ordering people to work for free
