"This is obviously not unique to Canada. This is an industry-wide issue. But Canada can lead in terms of solving what I think sounds like a very deep irritant for workers in this industry."
In August, Hadju announced the launch of a probe into whether flight attendants are being compensated in accordance with the Canada Labour Code.

The government will then determine the next steps based on the findings of the report. The department reiterated that allegations of unpaid work are being taken seriously and that the government is committed to protecting workers and ensuring fair workplaces.
“Nobody should work for free in this country. The allegations of unpaid work in the airline industry are deeply concerning—we will get to the bottom of this,” said Hajdu. “We thank the unions and employer representatives that are taking part in this important work; together we are moving toward a fairer Canada.”
