TORONTO — Flight attendants represented by the Canadian Union of Public Employees (CUPE) will be holding a day of action at Toronto-Pearson airport on Tuesday, April 25, as part of their campaign to end the rampant abuse of unpaid work in the airline industry. Flight attendants in Canada are not paid for boarding, delays, deplaning, and many other duties. They are tired of working 35 hours unpaid every month, on average, and they are coming together on Tuesday to tell the airlines and federal government: unpaid work won’t fly!
