After months of promises, still no meaningful financial relief for Canada's airlines Airline unions renew call for an urgent deal between the federal government and Canada's airlines OTTAWA, ON, Jan. 12, 2021 /CNW/ - Unifor, ACPA, ALPA and CALDA continue to call on the federal government to make a direct and meaningful financial contribution to our devastated industry, commensurate with the contribution made by other countries to their own sector. While the unions were initially encouraged by the Minister of Transport's public commitment on November 8, 2020 to work with airlines on developing and finalizing an aid package, and a subsequent acknowledgement from the Finance Minister in the Fall Economic Update, airline workers are concerned that, now entering our 10th week, no indication has been given that aid is forthcoming.
