CUPE: Former Air Canada Counsel to Decide Whether to End CUPE-Air Canada Dispute in Clear Conflict-of-interest

TORONTO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--In an almost unthinkable display of conflict-of-interest, a former Air Canada legal counsel, Maryse Tremblay, will rule on whether to end job action by striking Air Canada flight attendants at the Canada Industrial Relations Board.

CUPE requested Tremblay recuse herself from chairing the proceedings. Despite CUPE’s request, Tremblay will hear the case.

Tremblay, who spent her career advocating for the interests of Air Canada, was appointed to chair the CIRB by the Carney government.

It is increasingly difficult to escape the appearance of collusion between Air Canada and the Liberal government throughout this process.

Because of our collective courage in standing up to their intimidation, we made important strides. But we still have not crossed the finish line in our goal of ending unpaid work. This remains an emotional time for flight attendants. I want to speak...

Doug Ford's Return to Work order is a pathway to frustration for Ontario Health atHome workers

TORONTO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Last week, Premier Doug Ford announced he is mandating all Ontario Public Service Agency and CommissionWorkers return to the office 5 days per week, starting in January. This policy, which was created with no consultation with workers and serves no meaningful purpose, is not only short-sighted, but also potentially fiscally irresponsible.
