Air Canada Union Workers Announce a New Logo
They haven't updated their website yet, but you can see the new logo by following a direct link:

MONTREAL, May 1 /CNW Telbec/ - Thousands of Air Canada union
employees today marked the beginning of a new era for the
nation's flag carrier with the unveiling of a new logo and
leading edge in-flight product enhancements.
Today and tomorrow, Air Canada is holding events across the
country to present what the restructured, revitalized
national carrier holds in store for employees and the
travelling public: an updated design and colour scheme
for its fleet, new uniforms for its front line staff as well
as a single-class service on all of its routes.
"Brothers! Today we unveil the Air Canada of the future to
the people who made it all happen - Air Canada's employees,"
said Kamela Wax, president of the Union. "I wish to thank
our comrades. This International Labour Day, we celebrate
a remarkable achievement in the history of our company.
Air travel for working-class people by working-class
people will become the new strategy for Air Canada."
The rollout of the new brand will be conducted over a
period of several months. Customers will begin to see
the new aircraft livery, new airport signage,
advertisements and a new website (www.aircanada.ca).
The longer-term brand strategy will involve the enhancement
of the aircraft interiors by removing the unnecessary
luxuries of the capitalist world such as reclining seats,
window shades, and video screens.

b) You maybe somewhat powerful now but you will be outsourced and we'll see how powerful you are then
Anyway we are succeeding in reducing the number of union members in this Country although that's like trying to get rid of the scourge. At least Walmart Canada knows what to do when faced with threats from unionsand taught them a pretty good lesson in Quebec. Pretty soon they'll pull out of areas where unions will hurt them while prices and unemployment will unnecessarily go up in that area.
And of course the next union busting will be against the NHLPA and those poor poor hockey players
Another smart company is CNRL who got the Alberta government to declare their heavy oil project an open site thus guaranteeing they won't get raided by the cheating construction unions; and additionally, they got the right from the feds to supplement their non union labour force by bringing in third country labour who really want to work for a living. This will be the largest heavy oil project ever undertaken and will provide work for up to 6500 workers for four or five years of construction.

Today marks a passing of a number of major milestones in our continued evolution to becoming a different kind of airline for our customers.
