US EditionAir Canada and Striking Flight Attendants’ Union Reach Tentative Deal
- Air Canada’s unionized flight attendants reached a deal with the carrier on Tuesday to end the strike that grounded flights since August 16.
- The strike occurred because flight attendants sought pay for tasks like boarding that are currently unpaid, and they originally rejected a 38 percent pay raise offer.
- The tentative agreement guarantees pay for employees during periods when flights are not operating, addressing a major strike concern and allowing Air Canada to gradually resume its services.
- The strike affected about 130,000 travelers daily and caused hundreds of cancellations, with full service expected to take seven to ten days to restore.
- Following the agreement announcement on August 19, Air Canada began restarting operations and asked customers for patience during the ongoing recovery.
