Air Canada Flight Attendants Reject Wage Offer, Demand Full Pay for All Work Hours

Air Canada flight attendants rejected the airline’s wage offer by a significant margin, according to their union, CUPE. The tentative agreement, which followed a recent strike, proposed a 12% salary increase for junior flight attendants and 8% for senior members this year. CUPE stated that the rejection was due to concerns over wages remaining below the federal minimum wage. The wage issue is now being mediated and will proceed to arbitration if necessary, while Air Canada has confirmed the situation.

Air Canada Flight Attendant Strike Ends: Deal Reached After Defiance of Government Order

Air Canada and the Canadian Union for Public Employees (CUPE), representing the airline’s flight attendants, have reached a tentative agreement, potentially ending a strike that caused significant flight cancellations and stranded passengers. The agreement, which addresses issues such as wages and unpaid work, requires a union member vote for final approval. The strike, which began on Saturday, forced the cancellation of hundreds of flights daily and may take a week to ten days to fully resume operations. The workers were seeking wage increases and paid compensation for work when planes are grounded.
