Air Canada-CUPE Negotiations End in Impasse
Air Canada still refuses to compensate flight attendants for all hours worked.
The union has been firm: all safety-related duties should be paid at full hourly rate. Air Canada does not agree.
On wages, Air Canada's last offer will still leave flight attendants living below poverty levels for many years to come.
We are heartbroken for our passengers. We do not want to go on strike, and we do not want to be locked out, but it is clear that Air Canada has no incentive to bargain.
Rather, Air Canada has refused to bargain in good faith due to the likelihood of the federal government using Section 107 of the Canada Labour Code to interfere in negotiations and have a contract imposed by an outside third-party arbitrator.
