Stalemate in the Skies: Air Canada Attendants Defy Government Order
Air Canada flight attendants persist in their strike despite a government order to return to work. With over 10,000 attendants involved, the strike has led to flight cancellations affecting over 100,000 passengers. The union seeks negotiation, criticizing the labor board for bias, while the government aims to protect the economy.
In a stark defiance of a government-backed labor board order, Air Canada flight attendants remain on strike, insisting the directive to return to work is unconstitutional.
The Canadian Union of Public Employees (CUPE) is urging further negotiations, as the labor dispute continues to cancel flights and inconvenience thousands of travelers.
The labor board's order, aimed at protecting the economy, comes after Air Canada sought binding arbitration. However, union members have expressed concerns regarding perceived conflicts of interest within the arbitration process.
