Now, the arbitration will be overseen by the Canada Industrial Relations Board, chaired by Maryse Tremblay, a former Air Canada lawyer.
Whose side is Ottawa on: Canadian workers, or corporate shareholders?

Air Canada flight attendants went on strike because they work unpaid hours.
Within hours, the federal government forced them back to work — protecting investors like BlackRock, which holds $200M in Air Canada shares.

Ottawa grounded the strike to protect investors like BlackRock ($200M in Air Canada shares), then handed the case to a CIRB chaired by a former Air Canada lawyer. Workers’ rights are being traded for shareholder comfort. #cdnpoli @AirCanada @cupenat #aircanadastrike

Grotesquely overpayed executives, stranding 30,000 customers and ruining a company because they refuse to respect the most basic work deal: pay workers for their hours of work
How much free labour did CEO Michael Rousseau give Air Canada?
Air Canada @AirCanada Executive salaries:
CEO M.Rousseau: $12.38 Million
CFO A.Kazzaz: $3.1 Million
COO C.Landry: $2.93 Million
CCO L.Guillemette: $2.74 Million
Exec VP A.Meloul-Wechsler: $2.0 Million
Full-time entry-level AC flight attendant earns LESS than minimum wage (27k/year before tax)
CEO makes 458x more than entry-level flight attendant
Time for AC executives to take a large pay cut

The government is protecting shareholder profits while violating the Charter-protected right to strike.
Workers deserve fair pay, not forced silence.

Air Canada FA’s are striking because they work unpaid hours every single day. Instead of fixing this injustice, the federal gvnmnt has ordered them back to work.
Who benefits? Powerful investors like BlackRock, which holds over $200M in Air Canada stock. #aircanadastrike #cdnpoli

The Charter protects the right to strike. Ottawa’s intervention protects BlackRock’s shares, not Canadian workers. #cdnpoli #aircanadastrike @AirCanada @PattyHajdu @BlackRock

The gov’t silenced flight attendants to protect profits. Meanwhile, BlackRock holds ~$200M in Air Canada shares. Workers’ rights shouldn’t take a back seat to shareholder returns. ✊ #aircanadastrike #WorkersRights @AirCanada @BlackRock @PattyHajdu

Flight attendants should be paid for their entire shift.
But today the Liberal government imposed back to work legislation on a mostly female workforce who are literally forcedto work for free for a part of every single shift.

Forcing flight attendants back to work is unconstitutional, unjust, and unsafe. The Charter protects the right to strike, and Ottawa has chosen to ignore that. If they can silence flight attendants today, no Canadian worker is safe tomorrow.

This isn’t just about Air Canada flight attendants. It’s about whether Canadian workers truly have the right to withhold their labour. The government’s order violates the Charter and sends a dangerous message: that profits matter more than constitutional rights. @AirCanada

The Supreme Court of Canada made it clear: the right to strike is protected under the Charter of Rights and Freedoms. By forcing flight attendants back to work, the federal government crossed a constitutional line and undermined bargaining rights for every Canadian worker

The Liberal government has invoked Section 107 of the Canada Labour Code to end a strike by Air Canada flight attendants fighting to end unpaid work and poverty wages.
