Did you know flight attendants in Canada work for an average of 35 hours for free every month?

Because airlines don’t pay flight attendants for duties like assisting passengers with boarding, pre-flight safety checks, deplaning, and other delays, flight attendants spend nearly a full workweek every month working for free.

This makes it incredibly hard for most flight attendants to make ends meet in their first 5-10 years. Most of us have second or third jobs to stay afloat and it's completely unsustainable.

NDP MP Taylor Bachrach has sponsored an official House of Commons petition to fix the Canada Labour Code and make sure that when flight attendants - or any other workers - are at work, in uniform, performing work duties, they're being paid.

The petition closes on July 6th, and we can use all the signatures that we can get. I dont have a massive following on here, but if you can, please click on the link and add yours!
