Day of action ahead in Canada as cabin crew fight to end having to do 35 hours of unpaid work each month.



Flight attendants represented by the Canadian Union of Public Employees (CUPE) will be holding a day of action at various Canadian Airports,  including Montreal-Trudeau Airport, Calgary International Airport and Vancouver International Airport tomorrow, Tuesday, 25th April as part of their campaign to end the rampant abuse of unpaid work in the airline industry. 


Flight attendants in Canada are not paid for boarding, delays, deplaning, and many other duties. They are tired of working 35 hours unpaid every month, on average, and they are coming together on Tuesday to tell the airlines and the federal government: Unpaid work won’t fly!

CUPE’s Airline Division represents approximately 18,500 flight attendants at Air Canada (including Air Canada Rouge), WestJet (including WestJet Encore and Swoop), Air Transat, Sunwing, Calm Air, PAL Airlines, Canadian North, Flair Airlines, Pivot, and PasCan.
