Striking Air Canada flight attendants defy back-to-work order

The refusal by the union to obey the order left many travelers at Toronto Pearson International Airport confused and frustrated on Sunday afternoon.

#Unions respect no one but themselves. People should not support them.

@prau @thejapantimes and the firm demamding unpaid labour, and the government trying to prevent fair negotiations, that's respect?
@thejapantimes reminder that #AirCanada could have end this in last December, they refuse. When the union give their 72h before strike notice, #AirCanada choose to quit the negotiations table and ghost union negotiator that was trying to find a way to end the operations in a orderly fashion. #AirCanada choose this clusterfuck. #AirCanadaStrike #UnpaidWorkersWontFly
