Bill C-415 will ensure airlines are required under the Canada Labour Code to pay flight attendants for all their work at their full negotiated rate of pay. Right now, airlines typically only pay flight attendants when their plane is in motion, forcing them to do important safety checks, flight prep, and the entire boarding and deplaning process without compensation. Many flight attendants are also unpaid or only paid minimum wage for training which is unacceptable in an industry where workers are constantly needing to refresh and update their safety-related training.
