What passengers need to know about a potential Air Canada flight attendants strike
More than 10,000 Air Canada flight attendants seek higher pay and improved work conditions amid stalled contract talks, prompting progressive flight cancellations starting Thursday.
- This past Wednesday, the union representing more than 10,000 Air Canada flight attendants issued a 72-hour strike notice and the airline said it would gradually cancel flights starting Thursday.
- The union representing Air Canada flight attendants says their 10-year contract expired March 31, with disagreements over unpaid duties during boarding, deplaning and emergencies on the ground.
- The union said that on Aug. 11, its revised proposal offered a 38 per cent pay increase over four years with no concessions, while flight attendants have suffered a nine per cent real wage cut since 2015.
- Passengers facing disruptions ahead of a possible strike this Saturday should note that Air Canada will notify customers of cancellations and offer full refunds under Canada’s Air Passenger Protection Regulations.
- Air Canada proposed binding third-party arbitration to settle the dispute, but the union refused arbitration and insisted on a member vote on any agreement.
