This is not true for CAN and US. Can’t comment on the other bases.
CBA’s are valid until expiration date. All the base contracts have provisions for base closure and/or reduction in positions. CX could have closed the bases or reduce positions if they wanted to, but at the moment CX decided not to do this
The North American base CBA’s can be renegotiated in 2021, as such it is entirely possible CX is planning to negotiate concessions similar to those in COS18.
So please stop with all your uneducated guesses and statements about base labour laws and contracts. It is clear to me that some of the above posters have absolutely no idea how first world labor laws work. An employer can not ignore them as they wish without facing the consequences.
