Support aviation and aerospace workers<\/strong><\/p>\n

TAKE ACTION: Support aviation and aerospace workers \u00ab Canada’s NDP<\/a><\/p>\n

\n
\n

Air transportation and aerospace are among the sectors most affected by the COVID-19 pandemic.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

Since the onset of this pandemic, tens of thousands of direct jobs have been lost across the country.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

These are not just numbers. Families and communities have been devastated.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

If there is no federal intervention, tens of thousands of more jobs will be lost.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

But despite numerous calls for help, Justin Trudeau is slow to intervene.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

Justin Trudeau is willing to do anything for his rich friends, but when it comes to workers, he asks them to wait.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

Elsewhere in the world, many countries have already made significant efforts to support workers in the air transport and aerospace sectors.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

It’s time for the federal government to do its part.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

We in the NDP want to protect these good jobs and help workers in these sectors.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

That is why we are calling for immediate, strategic and specific assistance for these sectors which will:<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

\u2022 Force companies to use the wage subsidy program to protect jobs and wages.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

\u2022 Ensure that all the rules in the Canada Labour Code, collective agreements and health and safety requirements are respected.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

\u2022 Ensure that public financing supports workers and jobs directly by preventing further layoffs and encouraging re-hiring laid off workers.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

\u2022 Ensure that companies receiving public funding do not offer bonuses to senior executives and donot distribute dividends.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

\u2022 Ensure that funds extended to companies include an equity stake that will guarantee protection of the public interest.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

\u2022 Ensure that public funds support workers and consumers alike and will not force air transport companies to choose between protecting jobs and refunding passengers for cancelled flights.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

\u2022 Support a national strategy for aerospace that supports workers and jobs in Canada.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

\u2022 Put in place adequate support for NAV-Canada to preserve and restore it\u2019s work force and continue to deliver its key services<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

Tell Justin Trudeau’s Liberals to act now to protect air and aerospace workers.<\/b><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
