Air Canada Takes Flight Again: Strike Ends with CIRB Directive
Air Canada aims to resume flights after the CIRB, under Canada's Jobs Minister Patty Hajdu's directive, ended a strike affecting over 700 flights. The board ordered the airline and its flight attendants back to work by 2 p.m. ET, following strike actions after contract negotiations stalled.
Air Canada announced plans to resume flights this Sunday after a directive from the Canadian Industrial Relations Board (CIRB), prompted by Canada's Jobs Minister Patty Hajdu, called for an end to the strike that halted more than 700 flights.
The CIRB instructed Air Canada to reinstate its operations and required both Air Canada and Air Canada Rouge flight attendants to return to their duties by 2 p.m. ET (1800 GMT), the airline confirmed.
This marks the first strike by Air Canada's flight attendants since 1985, following extended negotiations over a new contract, leaving thousands temporarily out of work.
