MODERATORS
This was the expected result for anyone watching this from inside labour. The majority of their collective agreement has been agreed to, including some kind of compensation for stand by. The only outstanding issue is the wage, which both sides agreed to leave in the hands of an impartial arbitrator. Most likely each side will make an argument about why they are right. Depending on whether they go with an arbitrator or a mediator, that person could choose either sides argument as the better one. Or they could implement their own.
So if they go the path that allows only one side to be chosen, they need to be the most reasonable. If they go the other way and allow some middle ground to be put in place it's more about the argument and the reason behind the wage increase.
I don't know the timelines on federal contracts but I don't imagine it'll be much different than provincial, which has very tight timelines to meet, present and have a decision made.
impartial arbitrator.
You mean, not the ex Air Canada lawyer? lol
compensation for [stand-by]
Everything the safety officers - trivialized with a label like 'flight staff' - do before and until the plane starts to move from the gate is unpaid. If you interact with any of them before that time, understand they're doing it as volunteer work. They're not standing-by: they're doing actual work for no pay.
Is this,generally true in the US as well or just Canada? I probably don't need to ask but I would rather know than assume if you have a good source.
