A new on-the-job tracking system at the airports in Montreal, Toronto and Halifax that require Air Canada baggage handlers to scan their fingerprints to clock in and out of work has been met with a considerable backlash, according to a report by CJAD 800 AM.
An Air Canada spokeswoman told La Presse the biometric time attendance system is widely used throughout the industry, adding that the airline introduced the technology to boost security and replace obsolete equipment.
