Thumbs up Canada

Don't forget the Canadian Helicopters Ltd. EMS pilots who certified last October or so under the OPEIU representation. They are the only Canadian commercial helicopter pilots to vote union.
After Air Methods, this is one of the biggest indications of a change in attitude (at least from the Canadian perspective!) within the ranks. Just reading the thread about PHI's union evolution, brings back memories of my days at CHL. Textbook bad management is one of the greatest causes of labour unrest.
Happy workers don't vote union! Bad management just helps create the demand!
