Description

Air Canada flight attendants are striking, and I get it. Imagine doing 35 hours of unpaid labour every week, while being responsible for safety at 35,000 feet. 

In this episode, I break down why this strike is long overdue and how Canada’s outdated regulations keep letting airlines off the hook. 

Disclosure: An earlier version of this episode, up for about 30 minutes, had a significant factual error in it. This version of the video has removed that part of the script.
