NDP won’t support interference

NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh said Thursday morning the party would not support efforts to force pilots back to work.

“We’re going to send a clear message again that we are opposed to Justin Trudeau and the Liberals, or any government, interfering with workers,” said Singh.

    Don’t know about you but I wouldn’t feel comfortable flying an airline where workers are being beaten-down by the government to do their jobs.

    Probably not a safe travel environment.
