- Federal Jobs Minister Patty Hajdu encouraged both parties to resume negotiations, emphasizing that agreements reached through direct talks are the most effective.
- If no last-minute agreement is reached, a complete work stoppage will take effect Saturday, with customers eligible for refunds and alternative travel options arranged when possible.
