AIR CANADA Rouge discrimi-
nated against flight attendants
when it didn't offer requalification
training when they returned from
maternity leave, an arbitrator has
ruled.
The Montreal-based subsid-
iary of Air Canada lacked train-
ing facilities so it used those of its
parent company to provide legally
required flight attendant training.
The training schedule was deter-
mined by operational needs and
pilot availability.
Rouge's collective agreement
with its flight attendants allowed
maternity and parental leave in

Arbitrator outlines LTC safety rules
'to further peaceful labour relations'
AN ONTARIO arbitrator has outlined the mea-
sures long-term care (LTC) homes across Ontario
must take to protect the health and safety of the nurs-
es on their staffs during the COVID-19 pandemic.
On March 11, the World Health Organization de-
clared a pandemic as COVID-19 spread across the
globe. The disease's symptoms are often more seri-
ous in older people, resulting in a crisis in Ontario's
LTC homes. Many LTC home residents have died
and staff have experienced high rates of infection due
outbreaks in the homes.
The Ontario Nurses Association (ONA) filed
a grievance on behalf of registered nurses work-
ing in LTC homes across the province, claiming the
homes didn't do enough at the start of the pandemic
to give nurses personal protective equipment (PPE),
provide proper communication, test nurses and
residents, clean the homes, maintain staffing levels
during the crisis, and enforce self-isolation rules for
individuals with symptoms. All of these issues added
