US EditionAir Canada flight attendants approve strike mandate
CANADA, AUG 5 – Air Canada flight attendants voted 99.7% in favor of strike authorization after July negotiation deadlock, representing over 10,000 workers, union officials said.
- Air Canada flight attendants voted overwhelmingly in favor of a strike mandate, with 99.7% approving amid ongoing contract talks as of August 5, 2025.
- The vote followed a failed conciliation process that ended without a deal after contract talks began earlier this year and negotiators hit an impasse in July.
- Flight attendants are demanding increased pay and remuneration covering their entire working hours, including time spent before boarding, rather than compensation limited solely to flight time.
- The Canadian Union of Public Employees, representing over 10,000 attendants, stated 94.6% voted, and a strike notice could be given as early as August 16, pending legal cooling-off periods.
- Air Canada cautioned the strike vote does not guarantee disruption and reaffirmed its commitment to fair negotiations recognizing attendants’ contributions and company growth.
