CUPE : Air Canada Flight Attendants Stage National Day of Action to End Unpaid Work and Win a Fair Contract
Article content TORONTO — Air Canada flight attendants staged a national day of action at airports across Canada on Monday, to highlight the rampant abuse of unpaid work in the airline industry, and the need for a fair contract. Article content The flight attendants, represented by the Canadian Union of Public Employees (CUPE), recently authorized their union to take strike action, in a near unanimous vote, in their current round of negotiations with Air Canada if a contract cannot be reached that addresses unpaid labour and poverty wages for junior flight attendants, in particular. Article content 'There is very clear path for Air Canada to avoid job action: pay your workers when they're on the clock, and pay them a wage that allows them to live and work in dignity. That isn't an unreasonable ask,' said Wesley Lesosky, President of the Air Canada Component of CUPE which represents over 10,000 flight attendants across the country. Article content 'We're proud to put on this uniform and help keep the public safe on their journey, but the days of us doing it for free or for poverty wages must end.' Article content 'Air Canada flight attendants from coast to coast came together today to stand up for each other, and for the pride and dignity of this profession. We're standing together for respect and a fair contract that matches to the professionalism and dedication we bring to work every day.' Article content The latest round of bargaining comes at the end of a 10-year contract which expired on March 31, 2025. Flight attendants have been crushed by inflation and rising costs over the life of the contract. Junior flight attendants who work full-time and earn just $1,952 per month before taxes are bearing the worst. Meanwhile, all flight attendants put in hours and hours of unpaid work every week performing critical safety-related duties, as well as boarding, deplaning, and attending to emergencies onboard. Article content 'Air Canada has posted billions in profits in the past few years, they can afford to pay their workers fairly without adding new costs for the public,' added Lesosky. Article content The two sides currently remain at the bargaining table and the union remains optimistic that Air Canada will recognize the important role that their flight attendants – who have been voted Best Cabin Crew in North America by SkyTrax for several years in a row – play in making it such a profitable company. Air Canada has an opportunity to set an example in the airline industry by ending unpaid work and ending poverty wages for junior flight attendants.

Trump says tariffs will not be placed on gold, bringing relief to bullion markets
U.S. President Donald Trump on Monday said he would not impose tariffs on gold, a move welcomed by global bullion markets and which ended days of speculation that the yellow metal could be caught up in the ongoing global trade spat. 'Gold will not be Tariffed!' Trump said in a statement posted on his social media account. He gave no details. The U.S. Customs and Border Protection had posted a ruling on its website on Friday saying that Washington might place the most widely traded gold bullion bars in the United States under country-specific import tariffs, which would have rocked the metal's global supply chains. In response, a White House official told Reuters on Friday that the Trump administration was preparing an executive order 'clarifying misinformation' about tariffs on gold bars and other specialty products. A U.S. gold tariff would have been especially harmful for Switzerland, a major refining and transit hub for gold. Trump's Monday post removes that concern. Analysis: Gold and Trump's chaos are key to the TSX's stellar performance this year 'Delighted to hear the crisis has been averted,' said Ross Norman, an independent gold market analyst. 'It will come as an enormous relief to the bullion markets, as the potential for disruption was incalculable.' U.S. gold futures dropped 2.4 per cent to $3,407 per ounce after Trump's post on Monday, reducing a premium over spot gold, the global benchmark, which fell 1.2 per cent to $3,357. Shares of Barrick Mining ABX-T fell 2.8 per cent on Monday afternoon after the company posted quarterly results, while shares of Newmont NGT-T – the world's largest gold miner – were down slightly to $68.87. Both companies are major U.S. gold producers.
