Overview

  • CUPE flight attendants have refused a Canada Industrial Relations Board directive to resume work, maintaining the strike until their demands are met
  • Air Canada postponed the planned Sunday evening restart after attendants ignored the return-to-work order, extending cancellations and delays
  • Labour minister Patty Hajdu invoked statutory powers and directed the CIRB to compel conciliation over the dispute, citing severe public and economic disruption
  • The union rejected Air Canada’s four-year, 38% wage-increase offer as insufficient, and continues to press for pay for ground duties like boarding and baggage checks
  • Passengers are urged to confirm flight status before traveling as the airline warns full operational recovery could take seven to ten days
