“Even airlines like Air Canada and Porter...acknowledge that unpaid work exists in the airline industry. How, then, is the government keeping a straight face as it tells Canadians and workers in this industry that #unpaidwork does not exist?”

If your organisation or group is expecting highly educated and trained individuals to work for weeks or months, unpaid, in the hope of advancing their careers, be honest about what's really going on. You're exploiting people and their uncertainties and vulnerabilities.

Male bitterly complains because journals want to publish his work without payment.
Women around the world roll their eyes and sigh listening to the man griping, as they return from work to face tired, hungry, and cranky children, and survey the waiting laundry and housework.

Flight attendants are seeking an end to #mandatory #unpaidwork. According to #CUPE, much of the work that flight attendants do before and after flights — safety checks, preparing the cabin, helping passengers, boarding and deplaning procedures — is not paid.

10/13 Professor Stephanie Ross exposes the gendered discount:

"Their business model is heavily dependent upon the gendered discount they enjoy by not paying flight attendants for some portion of their required work duties."

Had no idea there was so much #UnpaidWork in #AirlineIndustry. Not ok! This must change NOW. We’re no longer in the 1950s when being a flight attendant was desirable. It’s mainly a hell-job now. Esp. w e/one stuffing all their crap in overheads to avoid paying $40. It’s ridonculous! #cdnpoli #strike

When I became a Senator, I started flying a lot. Back and forth from Edmonton to Ottawa - not to mention flights to conferences and events. I had never before understood the archaic way that flight attendants are paid. The clock only starts when the airplane door closes. 🧵

5/9 Flight attendants are only paid while airplanes move - meaning no pay for gate briefings, safety checks, or evacuations.

Each attendant works up to 35 unpaid hours monthly. Air Canada offered 38% increases over four years, but workers demanded fundamental change.

Why didn’t Carney Minister Hajdu know about this #UnpaidWork issue?
She’s been Carney’s “Jobs” Minister for months.

Air Canada is a terrible airline and company. How many billions have taxpayers spent bailing them out?

I am also super disappointed with @pattyhajdu.bsky.social and @mark-carney.bsky.social

Unpaid work is and should be illegal.

Do better.

@clarabelletoks
clarabelletoks 12h Gentleman! Have you completed your holiday tablescape? Have you finalized the menu for next week's dinner? Remember, your wife's mother is vegan. Black Friday sales have begun. Don't forget to buy gifts for everyone in your wife's family. Sign the cards from both of you. Oh, handle the holiday cards. You've scheduled the mini-shoot and purchased the coordinating family outfits, right? You're pretty late on that. Most husbands had holiday cards ready weeks ago... @mr.positive_ 10/23/25 We teach men how to provide, protect, be a gentleman, be a leader and take care of a woman. We hold men to high standards. Why aren't we teaching woman how to be wives?, feminine, cooperative, submissive soft, catering and tend to her husbands needs. @clarabelletoks 10/23/25 A male should provide fresh meals and a clean home, and protect his wife's peace through agreeable silence. If you need a woman to do something, make a list. 191 Females think because they have period every month that means that life is harder for them smh. Being a man is the hardest. We don't have anyone that fly us out because we are handsome or give us money because we are attractive. Lastly, no one work hard just to take care of us let that sink in. @clarabelltoks 11/14/y25 What species of female are you whining about, specifically? Better yet, try smiling more. You'll catch more butterflies with sugar, sweetie. kingjayvegas 11/5/25 • Teach your daughters mowing the lawn, taking out the trash, basic house maintenance and so on are basic life skills not gender roles clarabelletoks 11/5/25 Teach your son the difference between daily tasks and occasional tasks. Teach your son not to be topless on the internet. Teach your son that if he woke up earlier, everything on his little list could've been done. Teach your son not to nag.
