What's unlawful is not paying your employees for the time they've worked.
What's unlawful is removing their right to go on strike and removing any kind of leverage for them to negotiate.

Air Canada is NOT a crown Corp, what right does the government have to intervene in Union's lawful right to strike. This undermines worker protection in Canada and sets a horrible precedent.
It would be nice if the article explained why the tribunal declared the strike unlawful. What was the rationale?
Companies in Canada have learned that they can just wait until the union strikes and then run to the government to force them back to work on the companies terms, and the unions will get on their knees and start sucking. Why would companies negotiate anything if all you have to do is get the government to force them back to work.
Nah, absolutely fuck the government. Keep striking. Cause pure chaos and unrest.
It's unlawful until the Supreme Court strikes down that section of the law because it's obviously unconstitutional because it takes away their Section 2 right to collective bargaining.
Air Canada is non essential. Rail, and postal service, health care teachers are. No other option is available. Customers have other options available in most cases and Air Canada has been struggling for a while with public perception and this is bad optics. My home town is only serviced by Air Canada but because they have contacted out the route to Jazz, I'm not affected. But I still have options for an airport an hour away though.
Rail, and postal service, health care teachers are [essential].
It's amazing how badly all those are being managed, right now. Mailposte wants to go private so they can end some bad contracts, rail is largely sold off to greedy corps, and teachers have gotten the shit end of the stick for decades.
For instance, my sister-in-law is retiring soon from teaching. She left the country to find a job that pays a living wage. Why yes, it IS a former Viking nation, and how did you know?
Oh well. 🤷Air Canada can suck a bag of dicks given they expect free work for no pay.
