US EditionHere’s What Air Canada Is Offering to Pay Flight Attendants
Flight attendants will vote on a tentative deal including a 12% pay raise this year and new ground time pay, following a strike resolved by federal mediation.
- Members of the Air Canada component of the Canadian Union of Public Employees will vote from Aug. 27 to Sept. 6 on the tentative agreement.
- After walking off last Saturday, flight attendants triggered disruptions; the federal government invoked Section 107 and Jobs Minister Patty Hajdu ordered binding arbitration within about 12 hours, while the Canada Industrial Relations Board ordered a return to work Sunday and deemed the strike unlawful.
- The agreement sets specific ground-pay rules and staged raises, offering a 12 per cent immediate increase for most junior flight attendants and an eight per cent bump for more senior members retroactive to April 1.
- Certain terms are already final regardless of the vote, including pensions and retirement bridging, health benefits, vacation and other agreed terms, while the wages portion will proceed to binding arbitration if rejected, CUPE said.
- The deal would run until March 2029, if ratified, and Air Canada says its service resumption dashboard shows about 98 per cent of domestic and U.S. flights operating, with service returning to normal within up to 10 days.
