What do you think of the article “More pay, but less union democracy: A complicated strike victory at Air Canada” by David Camfield”?

More pay, but less union democracy
The Air Canada strike won important gains but sacrificed workers’ rights to reject the deal.

Good article. One point not mentioned is that the Canada Labour Code, unlike labour legislation in other Canadian jurisdictions, doesn't require a ratification vote at all. This is what allows CUPE to say that a rejection of the proposed deal means all terms are settled except wages.

More Pay but Less Democracy:
“To get the TA, union officials also agreed to sacrifice workers’ right to reject the whole deal and fight for more. Canadian socialist David Camfield explains the unusual circumstances of this struggle—& the unusual deal that ended it.”
