Hundreds of flights based on industrial action

Air Canada suspended all its flights when the strike begins with the staff of the cabin – the airline, according to the airline, to violate travel plans for approximately 130,000 passengers a day.

The Union, which represents more than 10,000 Air Canada flights, confirmed 72-hour industrial actions early on Saturday morning.

The airline said it had suspended all flights, including under its budget ARM Air Canada Rouge, and advised the victims not to travel to the airport unless a flight with another airline.

Air Canada Field flights call for higher salaries and pay for work when planes are on the ground.

The strike came into force at 00:58 et (04:58 GMT) on Saturday, though Air Canada began scaleing its activities before. The airline states that about 500 flights will be affected by the day.

Field flights will be a picket at large Canadian airports, where passengers have already tried to secure new orders at the beginning of the week.

Air Canada, flying directly in 180 cities around the world, said it “suspended all operations” and that it “strongly advises the victims not to go to the airport”.

It adds that Air Canada Jazz, Pal Airlines and Air Canada Express Express did not affect the strike.

“Air canada deeply regrets that the effect of the strike on customers,” the message said.

By Friday evening, the airline said she had canceled 623 flights, which affected more than 100,000 passengers, as part of the operations off the day before.

At the contract negotiations, the airline stated that she proposed the flight attendants to increase the total compensation by 38% over four years, and by 25% increase in the first year.

Cupe said the proposal was “below inflation, below the market value below the minimum wage” and still will leave flight flights for several hours of work, including landing and waiting at airports on the eve of flights.

The Union and the airline publicly traded barbs on each other’s readiness.

Earlier this month, 99.7% of employees represented by the Union voted for the strike.

This week, Canada Haida Haida’s job minister called on Air Canada and the union to return to the table to avoid the strike.

She also stated in a statement that Air Canada asked her to send her dispute to the compulsory arbitration.

Cupe claimed that he was in good faith for more than eight months, but Air Canada instead searched for arbitration aimed at the government.

“When we stood tight together, Air Canada did not come to the table in good faith,” the union’s statement said. “Instead, they called on the federal government to enter and take away these rights.”
