Canada air traffic controllers buy hundreds of pizzas for unpaid US counterparts during government shutdown

Quote:

Canadian air traffic controllers have bought their American counterparts hundreds of pizzas as a show of solidarity during the US government’s partial shutdown.

The initiative is said to have first started at Edmonton’s control centre, where workers had a whip round to buy pizzas for controllers in Anchorage, Alaska.

Other facilities across Canada decided to join in, and the idea snowballed from there.

Peter Duffey, the head of the Canadian Air Traffic Control Association, said: “The next thing we knew, our members were buying pizzas left, right and centre for the colleagues in the US.

“As it stands right now, I believe we’re up to 36 facilities that have received pizza from Canada, and that number is growing by the hour.”

Some 10,000 air traffic controllers in the US have been working without pay since late December because of the ongoing government shutdown.

Mr Duffey estimated that, as of Sunday afternoon, some 300 pizzas had been received by American controllers, many of whom took to social media to express their gratitude.

He said many union members had been looking for a way to show solidarity with their American colleagues.

We're not allowed to ship Canadian Beer over the border, and we'd never let anyone drink American beer. That's just wrong.
