Air Canada flight attendants to stay on the picket lines after strike deemed illegal
The flight attendants union defied a federal back-to-work order and started a legal challenge, stranding thousands of Canadian travellers and causing widespread cancellations.
- The Canada Industrial Relations Board disputed the legality of the strike, and the Air Canada flight attendants' union defied Ottawa's order to return to work.
- Amid a failed bargaining process, Air Canada flight attendants will continue to defy a back-to-work order after the strike was deemed illegal, stranding travelers from Mexico.
- Passengers faced cancellations, with Pervez saying almost 350 people queued at airports shortly after, amid communication issues and rebooking costs.
- Gabor Lukacs, passenger rights advocate, said airlines must refund or rebook passengers at no extra cost, but Sundus paid over $4,600 for alternative flights she insists the airline should cover.
- Awaiting seat availability, Pervez was told no flights are available until seats open up, which could take four or five days.
