Air Canada CEO Robert Milton’s autobiography seems to have exacerbated the airline’s ongoing labour tensions. As the New York Times reports, Air Canada’s pilots’ union has complained to the Canada Industrial Relations Board about “some unflattering observations about some pilots and their union” that Milton makes in Straight from the Top, which was recently published by Greystone Books. Further details are undisclosed, but the Times does paraphrase PEN Canada’ national affairs chair, Christopher Waddell, as saying that “it was inappropriate for any labor body to judge books by airline executives or anyone else.” And Greystone publisher Rob Sanders calls the complaint “a back-door attempt to get at somebody.”
