TIABC Urges Federal Gov’t to Intervene Looming Airline Labour Dispute
Advocacy
In response to the looming airline labour dispute, TIABC has sent a letter to Honourable Chrystia Freeland, Minister of Transport & Internal Trade, with a formal request for the Government of Canada to intervene to prevent labour disruption at Air Canada.
TIABC has urged government to call the parties into binding arbitration to help resolve this critical issue to ensure the stability of British Columbia’s multi-billion tourism industry, as well as the entire Canadian economy.
The letter to Minister Freeland stresses that we must protect our critically important and economically viable sector now and in the days ahead to ensure the health and welfare of all Canadians.
