Hi. As you read my comment below, you will realize I have a different view than you on this matter, but please take your time and read the full story.

These AME's are working outside, in the rain, in the snow, nights, weekends, holidays, Christmas, birthdays, with biohazardous materials, noise over 110db, with mega-cancer chemicals which explicitly states it is a carcinogen, at heights over 10m over ground, maintaining and releasing aircrafts that will fly 10km over the ground at 900kmh with 200 souls on board. One critical error will cause a crater of smoldering aluminum, just to make less money than mechanics in your nearby auto dealerships?

I do not know if you felt the same way when the pandemic happened and majority of the flights were cancelled and many travel plans were ruined, or when 737 max were grounded and many flights were cancelled as a result. Did you feel the same level of anger and frustration against Boeing or the governments preventing travels? Just because these 700 or so workers working silently, day and nights behind the scenes, are easy targets?

You may not feel the sympathy for what WJ AME's are striving for but they've been negotiating with the company for months and WJ's executives most recent offer was a 1% raise?? That is literally being spat on your face. It is unfortunate for the flying public but it is time for WJ management to face their consequences of their lack of proper compensation for what these AME's do. Times of cheap and plentiful skilled labor is no longer a thing in Canada. We see news of impending strikes at Airbus Canada factory workers in Quebec, Toronto's public transit workers, LCBO, etc and its not going to get any better.
