Air Canada strike: Government ends flight attendants' walkout, services to resume but cancellations linger
Air Canada will restart flights on Sunday evening after the Canadian government intervened to end a strike by its 10,000 flight attendants that left more than 100,000 travellers stranded during the peak summer season. The airline, Canada's largest, said it will take several days before operations return to normal and warned that some flights would remain cancelled over the next seven to 10 days until schedules stabilise. Federal Jobs Minister Patty Hajdu ordered attendants back to work less than 12 hours after they walked off the job at 1 a.m. on Saturday, citing the broader economic impact, AP reported. 'Now is not the time to take risks with the economy,' Hajdu said, pointing to the unprecedented tariffs the US has imposed on Canada. The dispute has been referred to the Canada Industrial Relations Board, which extended the current collective agreement until a new one is decided by arbitration. The walkout had paralysed operations of the carrier, which runs nearly 700 flights daily. The shutdown was affecting about 130,000 passengers a day. Aviation analytics firm Cirium said Air Canada had cancelled 671 flights by Saturday afternoon, following 199 cancellations on Friday. Another 96 flights scheduled for Sunday were already suspended. The union had rejected Air Canada's earlier request for government-directed arbitration, escalating the conflict. The government previously forced two major railroads into arbitration during a strike last year, a move unions challenged in court, arguing it weakened labour's bargaining power. In this case, the Canadian Chamber of Commerce welcomed Ottawa's intervention, and the Business Council of Canada had also urged binding arbitration. Hajdu stressed that Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's Liberal government is 'not anti-union,' but added it was clear both sides were at an impasse. Air Canada announced that passengers affected by cancellations would be eligible for full refunds through its website or mobile app. It also promised to arrange alternative travel with other Canadian and foreign airlines 'where possible,' but cautioned that immediate rebooking could not be guaranteed as flights on other carriers were already full during the busy summer season. The airline and the Canadian Union of Public Employees (CUPE) have been negotiating for nearly eight months without success. Pay remains the most contentious issue. Air Canada said its latest proposal offered a 38% increase in overall compensation, including benefits and pensions, over four years, a package that 'would have made our flight attendants the best compensated in Canada.' The union disagreed, arguing that the proposed 8% raise in the first year fell short of addressing inflation and raised concerns about the unpaid work flight attendants perform when aircraft are not in the air.

$1,390 stimulus check in your bank account soon? IRS' crucial update for millions of Americans
Rumours have spread online last week that the US government will soon be issuing stimulus checks to taxpayers in certain income brackets. But, the truth is US citizens won't receive any stimulus payment this summer. But Congress has not passed legislation to authorize such payments, and, according to the IRS, no new stimulus checks will be distributed in the coming weeks. What is the claim around stimulus payment in the US? According to news agency AP, claims are doing round on social media that the Internal Revenue Service and the Treasury Department have approved $1,390 stimulus checks that will be distributed to low- and middle-income taxpayers by the end of the summer. But these claims don't hold any truth. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like When the Camera Clicked at the Worst Possible Time Read More ALSO READ: $5,108 Social Security August payment arriving next week: Are you getting the amount this month? Check exceptions An IRS official clarified to AP that taxpayers in the US will not receive new stimulus checks of any amount this summer. A stimulus check is a payment made to a taxpayer by the US government. Stimulus checks are made by paper check or through direct deposit and are intended to encourage spending during times of economic contraction. Also known as economic impact payments, stimulus checks are authorized by Congress through legislation and distributed by the Treasury Department. Republican Sen. Josh Hawley of Missouri last month introduced a bill that would send tax rebates to qualified taxpayers using revenue from tariffs instituted by President Donald Trump. Hawley's bill has not passed the Senate or the House. Live Events Earlier this year, the IRS revealed it would release roughly $2.4 billion to taxpayers who missed out on claiming the Recovery Rebate Credit on their 2021 tax returns. This refundable credit was designed for individuals who did not receive one or more of the COVID-19 stimulus payments, with a maximum benefit of $1,400 per person. ALSO READ: Millions of US citizens to receive $1,390 stimulus soon? Check if you qualify and when to expect it To qualify, taxpayers who hadn't already filed their 2021 return needed to do so by April 15. An IRS spokesperson has confirmed that no new credit is available for taxpayers to claim. The rumor may stem from a separate IRS announcement earlier this year about distributing about $2.4 billion to taxpayers who failed to claim a 2021 Recovery Rebate Credit. That refundable credit, worth up to $1,400 per person, was tied to COVID-era stimulus programs — but the deadline to claim it was April 15. The IRS has not announced any new relief programs, and no similar proposals are currently moving through Congress other than one from Sen. Josh Hawley that remains in committee. American Worker Rebate Act Republican Sen. Josh Hawley proposed the American Worker Rebate Act in July, which would send at least $600 per taxpayer from tariff revenue, plus extra payments for qualifying children. The bill has not passed either the House or Senate. ALSO READ: Hurricane Erin 2025 turns deadly?

Supporters argue that sharing tariff revenue would put money back in Americans' pockets. Opponents say such rebates could be unpredictable because they rely on fluctuating tariff revenue and would need congressional approval before reaching taxpayers. Rebates could increase if tariff revenue is higher than expected. Taxpayers with an adjusted annual gross income above a certain amount — $75,000 for those filing individually — would receive a reduced rebate. 'Like President Trump proposed, my legislation would allow hard-working Americans to benefit from the wealth that Trump's tariffs are returning to this country,' Hawley said in a press release.
