Air Canada flight attendants picketing at 4 major airports on national day of action
CANADA, AUG 11 – Around 10,000 Air Canada flight attendants will hold coordinated airport actions to highlight demands for better wages and recognition of unpaid working hours, union says.
- Air Canada flight attendants will picket at four major airports on Monday to highlight their pay demands in contract negotiations, but the protests will not affect the airline's operations.
- The main issues include ensuring flight attendants get paid for all working hours, not just when planes are in motion, and improving poverty wages that are inconsistent with the economic reality of 2025.
- The Canadian Union of Public Employees, representing over 10,000 Air Canada flight attendants, could give a 72-hour strike notice as early as August 16 if a deal is not reached.
