The Canadian government has launched an investigation into unpaid labor in the aviation industry.
In response to allegations concerning the working conditions and wages of flight attendants, the investigation aims to ensure that the requirements of labor law are at least being met to protect workers and support a productive and fair workplace environment.
Patty Hajdu, the Federal Minister of Employment and Families, commented, “Flight attendants should be paid commensurately with their duties. Suspicion of unpaid labor in the aviation industry is a serious concern. We will thoroughly investigate this matter to get to the bottom of any allegations, as no one should be working without compensation.”
The Canadian Union of Public Employees (CUPE), representing Air Canada’s flight attendants, claimed that flight attendants currently do not receive pay during boarding and deplaning of passengers, with block time being used as the standard for more information.
