I am glad the flight attendants are getting some of their demands met.
Can someone explain why a strike is needed to specifically get flight attendants get paid for all the hours they work? Isn't it already illegal to have a work contract which says you have to do these tasks but you won't be paid for them?
Why couldn't the flight attendants approach the courts and resolve it there?
If not already illegal, any political party or other political entity (unions) demanding a law banning these practices?

Labour code mostly doesn't apply if you're unionized:

Thanks. Would be interesting to learn at some point under what conditions both unions and corporations agreed to this, presumably in the 1980s.
