Any more information on this?

This was on the Teamsters Facebook page last night.

Tonight, two planes being towed (pushed back) by Swissport managers clipped wings at Pearson. After forcing its 700 workers to go on strike, the company has been trying to operate at Canada's busiest airport using scabs and incompetent managers.

UPDATE: An untrained manager was pushing back a LOT Airlines plane who hit an Air Canada Rouge plane. The wingwalker, who was an untrained temp worker, did not know that he should have been watching the wing.

Seems like the Teamsters are in the fake news business now. Perhaps they should put out a third update with the actual story or delete their baloney. Either way they have egg on their face.

Yeah it does sound like teamster fake news given Globals article.

"fake news"

No - now we call it "alternative facts"

You can expect to be sent to the reeducation camps shortly. These terms are not politically correct in this political climate.

Well the actual facts seem to be that they so desperately wanted the replacement workers to bend some metal that the minute some metal got bent they blamed the replacement workers without actually checking the............facts.

If the AC airplane was taxiing into the gate where were the marshaling people?

[Go Guns]

Wasn't the aircraft worked by Swissport parked with a bridge on it?

[Chuck Finley]

Looks like AC has problems lining up with things these days.

Looks like AC has problems lining up with things these days.

A clear and obvious failure of TC, FAA, TSB, NTSB, GTAA, LOT, the fine people of Poland, and the passengers and crew onboard the LOT aircraft. And Polish speaking taxi drivers in the vicinity.

Not to mention weak Polish licencing standards.

I blame the picketing teamsters... Their placards were a distraction.

Or maybe it was the strippers carrying them.

(Its a joke, never been to Winnipeg. Please no horse heads in my bed)

Word is LOT wasn't where they should have been...

Not an accident, just a hard parking.

The 767 will buff right out. Not even going to be late on the next departure. The plastic 787 12 million in damage and three months downtime.
