US EditionLabour groups pushing back as Air Canada flight attendants’ strike poised to continue
The union representing 10,000 flight attendants continues striking despite a federal back-to-work order, causing over 240 flight cancellations and travel disruptions, officials said.
- On Monday, unionized Air Canada flight attendants defied a federal back-to-work order by picketing outside Terminal 1 at Toronto’s Pearson International Airport.
- The federal government imposed binding arbitration during the strike as unionized Air Canada flight attendants picketed outside Toronto’s Pearson International Airport Monday morning.
- That resulted in some 240 flights being cancelled Sunday, leaving passengers stranded, as airport officials warned travelers to give extra time and one passenger said `We haven't slept, we've been calling, we're tired.`
- On Monday, Air Canada had said its flights would resume, but cancellations persisted, leaving travellers uncertain as booking sites show cancellations until further notice.
- The federal government sent both sides to binding arbitration, and Air Canada announced Sunday flights would resume in the evening.
