the union can be dismantled under court order.

So the government can declare your legal option to collective bargaining as illegal when it doesn't suit them. So then, what is the point of the union and legal protections when they can remove it at a whim...

This is fucked. Yes, I know US did it before too. Same question and reasoning. If the government only allows you to do something, when it doesn't harm their pockets.. it's a useless, feel good 'right' or protection.

Which is why the strike is still on and flights are cancelled. I’m actually directly impacted by this, I am currently stuck in Tokyo since my flight to Tornto was cancelled a few hours ago.

I just want to say thank you for not letting the personal impact change your position. Too many people will drop a good cause because of a slight inconvenience. Strikes and protests have to inconvenience people, because it's the only leverage they have.

I hope you get home safe, and on a plane where everyone is well paid for their work.

Meh, AirCanada rebooked me today, I don’t have to be anywhere urgently so I am barely impacted. I’m more annoyed I went from a direct flight to a layover.
