One of the top news stories in Canada this week was the tense stand-off between Air Canada and its 10,000 flight attendants.
The Air Canada flight attendants' strike saw planes grounded across Canada as flight attendants demanded better pay, including an end to unpaid ground work. Then Mark Carney's government intervened and invoked a controversial section of the labour code to order flight attendants back-to-work, leading the flight attendants to announce they would be defying the Carney government's orders.
On this episode of Sources, PressProgress' Labour Reporter Emma Arkell joins PressProgress Editor Luke LeBrun to unpack one of the most charged labour disputes in recent Canadian history.
