But why did the government choose to act against the union and not force Air Canada to live up to its legal obligations to get people home.

No it prolonged it. Might not even have gotten to a strike at all.
The strike wasn't a threat to Air Canada as it is supposed to be. They were counting on the government to bail them out, as they did.

The government fully had a choice. Air Canada was fully counting on the government intervention so they didn't bargain in good faith. Once the Union didn't play along (and the Government announced they would probe unpaid hours) then Air Canada was forced to negotiate and actually reached a deal
-
But this was, very importantly, NOT legislation.
Was just an order from the Minister, using a section of the Canadian Labour Code, to the Canada Industrial Relations Board to end the strike and order binding arbitration. The big issue is does the Minister even have that authority under that section

Holy Fuck.
He actually admitted that they were just waiting for the government to step in.
Unbelievable.
He needs to be reminded that the Supreme Court said striking is a Charter Right.

So interesting thing Toronto categorized theirs as Police Constable.
So your list isn't including Toronto Cops.

At one point I saw someone try to do some math on exactly how much OT..
Can't recall the specifics.. But it just doesn't seem like there are enough hours in a day to accumulate THAT much OT.
