AOA Canada's main agenda is to force Cathay to allow Canadian pilots to bid vacancies in the USA, despite Cathays policy of needing the right to live and work there. This is a big disservice to the Americans at CX. In addition, AOA Canada is on of three or four internal "unions" at Cathay. It doesn't work. Imagine if Delta or United had sesperate pilot unions in each base? All looking out for their own needs? Is there any unity in that? Is there any strength in negotiating anything in that? Can you divide and conquer if you are management in relentlessly? Yup.
Multiple unions are common outside the airline industry, sometimes for the same employee group. Most companies deal with it just fine.
