Under the new deal, attendants would receive 50 per cent of their salary for 60 minutes of boarding and cabin secure checks for narrow body planes and 70 minutes for wide body planes.
Still bullshit. 50% salary capped at 60 min? Does AC want half the safety checks done? How long do they spend getting from their car to the gate, I wonder? That’s also unpaid.
The agreement took about seven hours but followed eight months of bargaining
Labour action makes a difference.
seven hours
So AC already had an option, they choose to force the strike
Why negotiate if you can just get the government to force your employees back to work?
I think that may have just been poorly communicated. The way I heard it explained, it wasn't a cap, but more like a standard allowance. It really sounds like that time will be extended for delays. My contract has a similar provision if I'm expected to start or end my shift away from my usual workplace, I get compensated for a predetermined amount of travel time instead of the actual time, although if I prove a major delay that's out of my control I also get paid for that time.
Wow, I didn't hear that's all they agreed to. There must be other benefits CUPE got, because that's what AC was offering BEFORE the strike....
It is still a tentative agreement. AC workers can still refuse for a better deal.
It's at least 60 minutes, not 60 minutes. It's just bad reporting.
