What is ground pay? A sticking point in the Air Canada flight attendant strike, explained
If you've been following the Air Canada (new window) strike throughout its twists and turns (new window) , you've likely heard the term ground pay, or noticed flight attendants holding signs decrying unpaid labour. More than 10,000 flight attendants walked off the job early Saturday morning, leading to hundreds of flights being grounded. On Monday, striking Air Canada flight attendants (new window) defied a federal back-to-work order and abruptly halted the airline's plans to resume operations. Later in the day, Jobs Minister Patty Hajdu told The Canadian Press that the federal government is launching a probe (new window) into allegations of unpaid work in the airline sector as the work stoppage stretched on. One of the key complaints from the union representing Air Canada flight attendants is that workers are not paid for duties performed before take-off. Our members' only goal is to be paid for their time at work, CUPE National secretary-treasurer Candace Rennick said in a media conference Monday. Air Canada and the Canadian Union of Public Employees (CUPE) have been in contract talks for about eight months, and they reached a tentative deal (new window) early Tuesday. Enlarge image (new window) People stand in line for an Air Canada counter at Halifax Stanfield International Airport on Monday amidst a nation-wide strike by Air Canada flight attendants represented by CUPE. Photo: CBC / Andrew Lam The airline's last offer included a 38 per cent increase in total compensation, including benefits and pensions, over four years, that it said would have made our flight attendants the best compensated in Canada. But the union pushed back, saying the proposed eight per cent raise in the first year didn't go far enough because of inflation. Pay has been a main sticking point in the contract talks and, specifically, so-called ground pay, or compensation for work flight attendants do when planes aren't in the air. The two sides gave few details of what's in the tentative deal, but the union said in a statement provided to CBC News that unpaid work is over. How did ground pay become such a major issue in a dispute that upended travel for hundreds of thousands of passengers? Here's what you need to know. What is ground pay? Right now, Air Canada flight attendants are only paid when the flight is in the air, as the non-profit Angus Reid Institute explains (new window) . And they say this leaves them with unpaid work loading and unloading passengers, and when there are cancellations and delays, the Institute says. This is a common practice in the North American airline industry, and not unique to Air Canada. Ground pay would compensate flight attendants for the work done on the ground before boarding and after deplaning, including safety procedures and assisting passengers. Last year, Wesley Lesosky, a flight attendant and president of the CUPE air division, said in a news conference (new window) that on average, flight attendants do 35 hours of unpaid work per month. It's not just the assisting of the passengers getting on the plane and saying, 'please put your bag here,' Lesosky told Reuters (new window) earlier in August. WATCH | CUPE president says he'll risk jail time: What we're looking for is, 'Hey you require us to show up an hour prior, you require us to start safety briefings, safety checks. You require us to assist on the ground.' That's what we're asking to be paid for. The airline proposed ground pay at 50 per cent of a flight attendant's hourly rate, according to CUPE's Air Canada component. The union declined the proposal and is asking for ground work to be paid at 100 per cent. Why aren't flight attendants paid for this work? In a nutshell, because airlines have such small profit margins, explained Ian Lee, an associate professor of management in the Sprott School of Business at Carleton University in Ottawa. The airline industry has, in aggregate, lost more more money than it's made money, Lee told CBC News. I tell my students, don't ever invest in two industries: restaurants and airlines, because you'll lose your shirt over time. The unpaid groundwork practice has been around in North America for decades, Lee said, emerging not long after then-U.S. president Jimmy Carter deregulated the airline industry (new window) . Then, in the early 1980s, the recession hit. In 1981, there was an air traffic controller strike, and suddenly the industry started suffering losses, notes the Smithsonian's National Air and Space museum (new window) . Enlarge image (new window) Protesters interrupt a news conference with Air Canada officials in Toronto, on Aug. 14, 2025. Photo: CBC / Evan Mitsui Struggling to survive, airlines cut wages and benefits, but this strategy resulted in strikes and lower productivity, added the Smithsonian. As a 2024 literature review published in the journal Labor History (new window) argues, the persistence of unpaid ground time illustrates a trend of systemic prioritization of corporate profit over workplace equity. LISTEN | What the Air Canada strike is really about (new window) Why did this start becoming an issue recently? There have been more delays on the ground ever since the COVID-19 pandemic, explained Lee, which in general means more unpaid work for flight attendants. He says those delays have become transparently clear in the last few years. For instance, in the week of June 27 to July 3, 2022, 57 per cent of flights at the top 15 airports in Canada were delayed, according to Transport Canada (new window) . That decreased just slightly to 45 per cent the week of Jan. 2 to 8, 2023. Overall, in 2024, Air Canada saw 71 per cent of the nearly 386,000 flights it flew land on time, and 71 per cent of the approximately 192,000 flights WestJet flew in 2024 landed on time — putting the two airlines at the bottom of an annual ranking of North American carriers, according to aviation analytics company Cirium. (new window) If you're sitting on the ground for an hour or two at the gate because you're not cleared to leave, or you're parked at the gate because you're not cleared to go in, then the flights attendants are just putting in a lot more work that's unpaid, Lee said. What do other airlines do? In Canada, Lee says some airlines have been more progressive than Air Canada in negotiating higher compensation for ground work pre- and post-boarding. And he says it's been uneven in the U.S., too. In other words, it's kind of a Wild West. CUPE spokesperson Hugh Pouliot told CBC News last week (new window) that Porter Airlines started paying flight attendants for some boarding duties this year while some smaller carriers — such as Pascan Aviation — pay full salary for ground duties. But CUPE's WestJet component has said (new window) that its members face similar barriers for pre-boarding and deplaning tasks that occur while the plane is grounded. The union will negotiate with the airline when its collective agreement expires at the end of the year. Air Canada's demands on unpaid work follow gains recently won by flight attendants in the United States. New labour agreements at American Airlines and Alaska Airlines legally require carriers to start the clock for paying flight attendants when passengers are boarding, not when the flight starts to taxi down the runway. Those gains came after Delta Air Lines, whose flight attendants are not unionized, instituted boarding pay for its cabin crew at half of their hourly wages in 2022 when they were trying to organize. American Airlines flight attendants are also compensated for some hours between flights. United Airlines cabin crews, who voted down a tentative contract deal last month, want a similar provision. Corrections An earlier version of this story on the CBC News website counted WestJet among progressive airlines on pay issues. WestJet does not compensate its flight attendants before boarding and the union representing them will be negotiating with the airline when their collective agreement expires at the end of the year.

Boston Celtics sale is done. Bill Chisholm takes over as owner of NBA's most-decorated franchise
BOSTON (AP) — The sale of the Boston Celtics was finalized on Tuesday, with private equity mogul Bill Chisholm taking over control of the NBA's most-decorated franchise from a group led by Wyc Grousbeck that had owned them for more than two decades. The team was put on the market last summer, soon after it won its record 18th NBA championship. Chisholm won the bidding in March with an offer that valued the franchise at more than $6.1 billion — a record price paid for an American professional sports team. The NBA approved the deal unanimously last week, and the money changed hands on Tuesday. Chisholm takes ownership of at least 51% of the team, with full control coming by 2028 at a price that could bring the total value to $7.3 billion. That's the highest price ever paid for a team in the four major North American sports, though a piece of the Los Angeles Lakers changed hands this summer at a price that would value the entire franchise at $10 billion. Grousbeck led a group that bought the Celtics in 2002 for $360 million. Under their ownership, the Celtics won two NBA titles, lost in the finals two other times and made the playoffs in 20 of 23 seasons.

Mint Announces $150 Million Investment Commitment and Initial Exchange Offering
BETHESDA, Md., Aug. 19, 2025 /CNW/ -- Green Minting Technologies, Corp. ("Mint"), announced today the strategic investment commitment of up to $150 Million USD with GEM Digital Limited through a token subscription agreement to develop a state-of-the-art, 600-Megawatt, off-grid, renewable energy, Bitcoin mining and AI datacenter project. The partnership is set to accelerate Mint's mission of bringing renewably-powered cloud computing to the masses through its $MINT token, which enables tokenholders to buy compute power by the hash in order to leverage low-cost, renewable energy to power applications like Bitcoin mining on Application-Specific Integrated Circuits ("ASICs") or training Artificial Intelligence ("AI") on Graphics Processing Units ("GPUs"). As part of the $150 Million USD investment commitment, Mint will be listing its $MINT tokens on a number of the leading centralized exchanges in its Initial Exchange Offering ("IEO"), where it is targeting to raise $400 Million USD. "Mint is re-democratizing the Bitcoin mining landscape by fractionalizing the energy and computing infrastructure into $MINT Tokens. In the beginning, Bitcoin mining was truly distributed across individual users. As Bitcoin mining infrastructure becomes increasingly expensive, individual users can't compete, particularly at today's retail energy prices. Through this partnership with GEM, we can deploy our $MINT Tokens to enable individual users to gain the benefit of renewable, scaled operations - without the upfront costs associated with developing utility-scale energy generation and datacenter infrastructure. Bitcoin mining can now be powered by the masses once again, thanks to the $MINT Token," said Alex Wey, CEO and co-founder. As part of the 600-Megawatt project, Mint will dedicate a portion of the infrastructure to developing a Tier III/IV datacenter to host GPUs and power AI tools, alongside its core Bitcoin Mining operations. To learn more about $MINT, the project, and about how to participate in this Initial Exchange Offering and its Presale, visit the $MINT website About GEM Digital Limited Based in the Bahamas, GEM Digital Limited is an asset investment firm focused on utility tokens.
