Air Canada flight attendants to defy back-to-work order, remain on strike: union

Air Canada flight attendants will defy the back-to-work order and remain on strike after the federal government ordered binding arbitration to end the work stoppage, the Canadian Union of Public Employees (CUPE) told Radio-Canada on Sunday. CUPE said in a statement that members would remain on strike and invited Air Canada back to the table to "negotiate a fair deal." "We will be challenging this blatantly unconstitutional order that violates the Charter rights of 10,000 flight attendants, 70 per cent of whom are women, and 100 per cent of whom are forced to do hours of unpaid work by their employer every time they come to work," it said in a statement. Air Canada and a Canadian government spokesperson were not immediately available for comment. Earlier this morning, the Montreal-based airline announced it planned to resume flights starting Sunday evening, a day after the Canadian government issued a directive to end a cabin crew strike that caused the suspension of around 700 daily flights, stranding more than 100,000 passengers. "I don't think anyone's in the mood to go back to work," Lillian Speedie, vice-president of CUPE Local 4092, told CBC's News Network at a picket line outside Toronto Pearson International Airport in Mississauga on Sunday. "To legislate us back to work 12 hours after we started? I'm sorry, snowstorms have shut down Air Canada for longer than we were allowed to strike." WATCH | Federal government steps in to resolve Air Canada labour dispute: The federal government moved to order the airline and its flight attendants back to work on Saturday, less than 12 hours after the strike and lockout took effect. The union has accused federal Jobs Minister Patty Hajdu of caving to Air Canada's demands. Air Canada said Sunday it had been directed by the Canada Industrial Relations Board (CIRB) to resume operations and have flight attendants return to their duties by 2 p.m. ET. It said the CIRB had ordered the terms of the collective agreement between the union and the airline that expired on March 31 be extended until a new agreement is reached. CUPE announced early Saturday that its members were heading to the picket lines after being unable to reach an 11th-hour deal with the airline, while Air Canada locked out its agents about 30 minutes later due to the strike action. Air Canada relies on government help: labour expert Steven Tufts, associate professor and labour geographer at York University, says Air Canada has become dependent on the federal government to solve its labour-relations issues. He mentioned last year's dispute between the airline and the pilots' union. Air Canada asked for the government to be ready to step in before the two sides reached a tentative agreement in September 2024. "[Air Canada] tried to get the government to intervene with pilots last year," Tufts told CBC News Network. "Air Canada has to learn not to call mommy and daddy every time they reach an impasse at the bargaining table. They have to actually sit down and get a deal done with their workers." Earlier this week, Air Canada asked Hajdu to order the parties to enter a binding arbitration process. But intervention was something she resisted until Saturday afternoon, when she said it became clear the two sides were at an impasse. CUPE maintained it opposed arbitration, instead preferring to solve the impasse through bargaining. It said her decision "sets a terrible precedent." "The Liberal government is rewarding Air Canada's refusal to negotiate fairly by giving them exactly what they wanted," the union wrote in a statement Saturday afternoon. The two sides are set to return to the table this week. The union accused Air Canada of refusing to bargain in good faith due to the likelihood of the government stepping in and imposing arbitration. It has said its main sticking points revolve around wages that have been outpaced by inflation during its previous 10-year contract, along with unpaid labour when planes aren't in the air. CUPE announced it is calling a national day of action and will have demonstrators outside of the Toronto, Montreal, Vancouver and Calgary airports this morning. Flights by Air Canada Express, operated by third-party airlines Jazz and PAL, were not affected. The airline says customers whose flights were cancelled and did not travel or accept a refund will be notified and provided with a new itinerary.

Fabrizio Romano confirms Liverpool talks for England star

Liverpool are continuing their talks with Crystal Palace over a deal for Marc Guehi. That's according to a new report from Fabrizio Romano. It strongly suggests that sporting director Richard Hughes and head coach Arne Slot are not currently satisfied with their central defensive options. 🔴 Shop the LFC 2025/26 adidas home range 🚨2025/26 LFC x adidas range🚨 LFC x adidas Shop the home range today! LFC x adidas Shop the goalkeeper range today LFC x adidas Shop the new adidas range today! Right now the club have got only three senior options at their disposal including Virgil van DijkIbrahima Konate and Joe Gomez. Another central defender, Giovanni Leoni, was added last week from Parma for around £26m. However, the Italian is just 18 years old - and has played only 17 top-flight games in his career. Konate doubts Would it be a gamble to throw him in at the deep end rather than letting him settle into life at the club? Then you need to factor in the complications over Konate's contract. With the defender's current deal expiring in 2026, it's been suggested he's planning on running down his contract. Real Madrid of course are lying in wait - prepared to offer the Frenchman an €18m signing-on fee. If he is to go this summer, then some succession planning will be required sooner rather than later. Guehi can solve the problem Palace are facing a similar conundrum over Guehi - with their captain's contract also up in 2026. It makes sense therefore to ship out Konate if he won't sign a new deal and bring Guehi in as a ready-made, high-class replacement. Even so, that would leave Liverpool exactly where they were numbers-wise. With Jarell Quansah having left the club, there is probably call for at least one more senior centre-back even if Konate stays through this summer. Liverpool require centre-back options And that's before we get to the issues faced by Konate and Van Dijk on Friday night against Bournemouth. Neither covered themselves in glory on Antoine Semenyo's goals and it would be nice for Arne Slot to have increased options. It is Liverpool's partnership out of necessity - and doesn't legislate for injury, suspension or a loss of form. With much of the transfer focus still on Alexander Isak at the other end of the pitch, it is Liverpool's threadbare options at centre-back that is the real issue. Slot and Richard Hughes would do well to act accordingly and push through the signing of the England international.

British horseracing to go on strike in protest against rise in betting taxes

LONDON (AP) — British horseracing will stage an unprecedented one-day strike on Sept. 10 to protest a proposed rise in taxes on race betting. The four scheduled meetings that day — at Carlisle, Uttoxeter, Lingfield and Kempton — will not take place after agreements between the owners of the courses and the British Horseracing Authority, making it the first time the sport in Britain has voluntarily refused to race in modern history. The BHA set up the 'Axe the Racing Tax' campaign in response to proposals to replace the existing three-tax structure of online gambling duties with a single tax, with fears the current 15% duty on racing could be increased to the 21% levied on games of chance. Brant Dunshea, chief executive at the British Horseracing Authority, said the strike intends to 'highlight to (the) government the serious consequences of the treasury's tax proposals which threaten the very future of our sport.' 'British racing is already in a precarious financial position and research has shown that a tax rise on racing could be catastrophic for the sport and the thousands of jobs that rely on it in towns and communities across the country," Dunshea said. 'This is the first time that British racing has chosen not to race due to government proposals. We haven't taken this decision lightly but in doing so we are urging the government to rethink this tax proposal to protect the future of our sport which is a cherished part of Britain's heritage and culture." The British government said it was bringing the 'treatment of online betting in line with other forms of online gambling to cut down bureaucracy.' 'It is not about increasing or decreasing rates,' the government said, "and we welcome views from all stakeholders including businesses, trade bodies, the third sector and individuals.' ___ AP sports:
