Obligatory fuck the CEOs and Shareholders

“We are bargaining. We are committed to reaching a deal. But we are saying that if that fails, the government should be ready to intervene and avoid the disruption,” - Christophe Hennebelle (Air Canada’s vice-president of corporate communications)

this is not what a company that’s negotiating in good faith does

      No, you can quit though, which would have a similar effect if the labour market wasn’t being fucked with low-cost labour.

        I mean, if you’re going with the libertarian logic, we don’t need unions, but there’s also no such thing as “low-cost labour”. People get paid what they’re worth to employers.

        If you want wages higher than that, you need collective bargaining.
