New polling conducted by Abacus Data confirms that nearly 9 in 10 Canadians support Air Canada flight attendants’ fight for fair pay – and they want the federal government to back off and let them negotiate it freely and fairly.
- 88% per cent of Canadians believe flight attendants should be paid for all work-related duties including boarding, delays, and safety checks.
- 59% believe the federal government should respect flight attendants’ right to take job action – even if it causes travel disruptions.
- 76% support raising their pay to reflect the important safety role they play.
- 71% support Air Canada matching or exceeding competitor airline pay as Canada’s flagship carrier
- 80% support raising flight attendant pay to meet the rising cost-of-living.
- 59% think Air Canada’s wage increase for junior flight attendants is still too low to live on in major cities, and only 19% think Air Canada’s wage offer is fair.
The survey also confirms the public is tuning in, with 43% saying they are following the process closely.
The survey of 1500 across Canada was conducted on August 14-15 with a weighted sample. Read more here.
Nope, this is one of the many situations where dumb Albertans will correctly identify that the Liberal government are pro-business jackasses.
They just go on to say that this is why you should have voted Conservative, because, well. Dumb Albertans.
Unfortunately you are wrong, at least based on the people I know that are against it.
All of them 1 step away from going full MAGA.
So what part of that is me being wrong?
Because they are siding with the government, and not the workers.
