Socialist Workers Party

This space exists to share news, analysis, and discussion rooted in socialism, anarchy, and socialist anarchism.
The focus is on strengthening the militant, conscious layer of the working class—of which we are a part—so it's better equipped to understand the world, draw lessons from the history of working-class struggle, and recognize its own power and responsibility.
The aim is to help build a clear path toward the overthrow of capitalism and the fight for political power from below.
Like the SWP, we support independent working-class political action and reject both capitalist parties—the Democrats and Republicans—as enemies of real liberation.

This is sadly not true. What they won is not that great. One hour before flight being paid at 50%, which it’s not enough. They got the inflation in their salaries but let’s face it this is not enough to survive in Toronto or Vancouver and forget climbing the economic ladder. Yes if you’re starting you’re paying a little more better.
After the workers fight back at 107 and « won », don’t forget that this law is contested by rail workers and postal workers in the highest court, their national union drop them and cry that they won. Now the union big head are forcing them to sign what scrap AC is giving them (6h after the imposition of the 107 AC came back with an offer) against the will of most of the flight attendants, their arguments being : if we choose to continue will have to renegotiate all we won! Which is bullshit.
What we’re seeing here is complacent union head that have used employees for political gain and are now throwing them under the bridge
Great points. Thanks for pointing that out.
