Flight attendants deserve fair wages and job security. They also deserve a government that respects their right to collective bargaining. 

The place to resolve this strike is the bargaining table. Air Canada's well-paid executives need to listen to workers' concerns about the massive amounts of unpaid work required of them. The trade war is no excuse for this government to trample on workers' rights. 

The solution is not for the federal government to bully workers. The solution is for the federal government to help management realize that unpaid work will no longer fly.
