OTTAWA, CANADA (VINnews)-Air Canada flight attendants are refusing to return to work despite a government-backed labor board’s order, extending the strike into Sunday and forcing the airline to delay restarting operations until Monday evening.

The Canadian Union of Public Employees called the Canada Industrial Relations Board’s back-to-work order “unconstitutional,” urging Air Canada to return to the bargaining table to reach a “fair deal.” The Liberal government of Prime Minister Mark Carney had asked the CIRB to impose binding arbitration in effort to protect the economy, but unionized flight attendants—over 10,000 strong—have defied the directive.
The strike, Air Canada’s first by flight attendants since 1985, has already grounded around 700 daily flights and stranded more than 100,000 passengers. The government’s options now range from seeking enforcement through the courts to introducing back-to-work legislation once Parliament reconvenes in September.
Wildfires! Strikes! What did they think was going to happen when they said that they’ll reward the terrorists who killed and tortured the jews with their very own state? It’s a good start, anyway.
I guess they’re trying to fly to the Palestinian state, but can find it on the map……..
