  More pay, but less union democracy - A complicated strike victory at Air Canada

  2 September, by David Camfield

  After an inspiring four days on strike, Air Canada flight attendants are now voting on a tentative agreement (TA) that offers significant gains in pay. To get the TA, however, union officials also agreed to sacrifice the workers’ right to reject the whole deal and fight for more.

Wolfgang Münchau, who is editorialist at the Financial Times, concludes that in this time of crisis a 3% fiscal adjustment (that is a 3% decrease in public spending) would produce a 4.5% decrease in GDP. Therefore, the current policies being pursued by European governments have been leading to a drop in economic activity making it impossible to decrease the amount of public debt.
