what is there to stop CHC Global from letting all the CHC Global employed pilots go
The law for one. It would be against the law to fire all pilots now that they are certified. Actually against the law without a union, the employer needs "just cause" to fire someone.
Second, we are now a union, so the union would tell all the members not to join the offshore hiring agency. Where would that leave CHC?
No, CHC GO will just have to deal with the union in good faith as CHC Australia, Scotia and Norway does.
This is not a war, we all recognize that CHC GO must be profitable to be viable and it must be viable to provide our jobs. Above all we are looking for fair and equitable treatment.
