It’s said that Air Canada baggage handlers are back at work after being ordered to do so by an arbitrator. The massively inconvenient wildcat strike was caused by the suspension of three workers for “slow clapping” the Labour Minister as she walked through an airport. As Air Canada saw it, that was an expression of political opinion. As any labour lawyer will tell you it’s your right to have a political opinion, but you can’t self-indulgently express it to your employer’s customers while your on his dime. It’s not unknown for unionized employees to do this. More than one garbage can has been thrown down the driveway because the sanitation worker didn’t like the election sign on the homeowners lawn. And that’s about it. Except — oh yes — how much do we get paid an hour?
