Grounded: Air Canada's Strike and the Supply Chain Aftershock
Join us for a deep dive into the recent Air Canada labor dispute, an event that unfolded rapidly and sent ripples across the logistics and air freight sectors. From the initial strike announcement by CUP flight attendants on August 13th to the government's controversial intervention and the final tentative agreement reached just days later, we unpack the critical timeline. Discover the immediate and significant impact on air cargo, particularly the massive reduction in 'belly hold' capacity on passenger flights, which normally moves a huge amount of freight like pharmaceuticals and perishable goods. We'll also examine the core disagreements over wages and compensation and how this short-lived but high-impact event exposed the fragility of global supply chains, prompting crucial questions about your contingency plans.
