CUPE: Air Canada is Reinforcing the Gender Wage Gap – And They Want the Government to Help Them Do It

Article content TORONTO — Air Canada wants to reinforce the gender wage gap by forcing Air Canada flight attendants – 70% of whom identify as women – to accept a wage offer less than one-third what Air Canada offered its pilots less than a year ago. Article content 'Air Canada's male-dominated workforce received a significant cost-of-living wage increase. Why not the flight attendants, who are 70% women?' said Natasha Stea, President of CUPE 4091 representing Air Canada flight attendants based in Montreal. Article content Article content In 2024, Air Canada gave pilots – a male-dominated profession – a 26% wage increase in year one of their new contract. Article content However, in 2025, Air Canada is offering flight attendants just 8% in year one of their new contract, and just a 17.2% wage increase overall over the life of a four-year deal. Article content Air Canada gave pilots a better wage increase in on year than flight attendants will get over the entire life of their four-year contract if Air Canada gets its way. Article content Now, Air Canada has threatened to lock out Air Canada flight attendants, calling flight attendant wage proposals 'exorbitant' – and they want Employment Minister Patty Hajdu to impose a deal on flight attendants through forced arbitration. Article content Since 2015, compensation growth for female-dominated occupations in the airline industry has fallen flat while wages and compensation for pilots and maintenance personnel have increased by 31% and 14%. Air Canada wants the federal government to help them keep the trend alive. Article content Article content Article content
