An Act to amend the Canada Labour Code (flight attendants)
Cabin crew have argued for decades that the Labour Code measures only "flight hours," leaving boarding, deplaning, and ground delays effectively unpaid. This bill expands the definition of work to include those hours. And applies federal minimum-wage protection to the time.

Federally regulated airlines pay flight attendants by flight hour today, so boarding, deplaning, and tarmac delays are effectively unpaid. The bill changes the Canada Labour Code so all those duty hours count as work and trigger at least federal minimum wage.
