Air Canada, CUPE Reach Deal to End Flight Attendant Strike

A tentative deal guarantees pay for ground duties, addressing the cabin crew’s central demand.

Passagiere gehen am Vancouver International Airport in Richmond an streikenden Flugbegleitern von Air Canada vorbei.
Das streikende Bordpersonal von Air Canada hat sich auch einer erneuten gerichtlichen Anordnung zur Rückkehr an die Arbeit widersetzt. Eine Frist des zuständigen kanadischen Arbeitsgerichts ließ die Gewerkschaft am Montag verstreichen.

Overview

  • The agreement ensures compensation for tasks such as boarding and guarantees pay when aircraft are on the ground.
  • CUPE said “unpaid work is over” and will send the tentative pact to members for a ratification vote.
  • The settlement came hours after the Canada Industrial Relations Board declared the walkout illegal and ordered crews back to work, an order the union had resisted earlier.
  • The days-long stoppage forced widespread cancellations, affected about 500,000 travelers, and led Air Canada to withdraw its guidance for the summer quarter and full-year 2025.
  • Pay and work rules had been the sticking points after eight months of talks, with the airline’s last offer worth about a 38% total compensation increase over four years.
