US EditionAir Canada flight attendants start voting on strike mandate
QUEBEC, CANADA, JUL 28 – More than 10,000 Air Canada flight attendants vote on strike mandate after contract talks stall over wages and unpaid work, with 92% willing to strike if necessary, union said.
- Air Canada flight attendants began voting on July 28, 2025, on whether to give their union a strike mandate in Canada.
- The vote follows failed conciliation talks with no deal reached after more than seven months of contract negotiations.
- The union seeks higher wages and payment for unpaid pre-boarding duties, and if mandated, could issue a strike notice as early as August 16.
- Air Canada operates roughly 1,100 daily flights and said the vote is a standard negotiation step that does not guarantee disruption.
- Experts and airline officials foresee disruption if a strike occurs, but passengers may get refunds or be rebooked within 48 hours under regulations.
