Air Canada Strike To Continue Despite Government Order

Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Flight attendants for Air Canada will continue to strike despite a back-to-work order issued by the Canadian Government, the Canadian Union of Public Employees (CUPE) said in an interview with Radio-Canada Sunday. The announcement came just a day after the Canadian government ordered the union and airline back into arbitration. The Canadian Industrial Relations Board acted on a directive from the country's Jobs Minister Patty Hajdu, ordering Air Canada "to resume airline operations and for all Air Canada and Air Canada Rouge flight attendants to resume their duties" by 2 p.m. ET on Sunday, Newsweek previously reported. Air Canada said previously that they would resume operations Sunday following the cabin crew strike that grounded hundreds of flights, causing cancellations affecting tens of thousands passengers. The strike came following requests for pay increases and better working conditions, CUPE said in a statement issued Saturday. "The Liberal government has invoked Section 107 of the Canada Labour Code to end a strike by Air Canada flight attendants fighting to end unpaid work and poverty wages," CUPE said in the statement. Newsweek has reached out to CUPE via email for more information Sunday. This is a breaking news story. Updates to come.

Air Canada says it is restarting flights Sunday

TORONTO — Air Canada said it plans to resume flights on Sunday after the Canadian government intervened and forced the airline and its striking flight attendants back to work and into arbitration. The strike stranded more than 100,000 travelers around the world during the peak summer travel season. The country's largest airline said in a release that the first flights will resume Sunday evening but that it will take several days before its operations return to normal. It said some flights will be canceled over the next seven to 10 days until the schedule is stabilized. Less than 12 hours after workers walked off the job, Federal Jobs Minister Patty Hajdu ordered the 10,000 flight attendants back to work, saying now is not the time to take risks with the economy and noting the unprecedented tariffs the U.S. has imposed on Canada. Hajdu referred the work stoppage to the Canada Industrial Relations Board. The airline said Sunday the Canada Industrial Relations Board has extended the term of the existing collective agreement until a new one is determined by the arbitrator. The shutdown of Canada's largest airline early Saturday was impacting about 130,000 people a day. Air Canada operates around 700 flights per day. According to numbers from aviation analytics provider Cirium, Air Canada had canceled a total of 671 flights by Saturday afternoon — following 199 on Friday. And another 96 flights scheduled for Sunday were already suspended. The bitter contract fight escalated Friday as the union turned down Air Canada's prior request to enter into government-directed arbitration, which allows a third-party mediator to decide the terms of a new contract. Flight attendants walked off the job around midnight Central Time on Saturday. Around the same time, Air Canada said it would begin locking flight attendants out of airports. Last year, the government forced the country's two major railroads into arbitration with their labor union during a work stoppage. The union for the rail workers is suing, arguing the government is removing a union's leverage in negotiations. The Business Council of Canada had urged the government to impose binding arbitration in this case, too. And the Canadian Chamber of Commerce welcomed the intervention. Hajdu maintained that her Liberal government is not anti-union, saying it is clear the two sides are at an impasse. Passengers whose flights are impacted will be eligible to request a full refund on the airline's website or mobile app, according to Air Canada. The airline said it would also offer alternative travel options through other Canadian and foreign airlines when possible. Still, it warned that it could not guarantee immediate rebooking because flights on other airlines are already full 'due to the summer travel peak.' Air Canada and the Canadian Union of Public Employees have been in contract talks for about eight months, but they have yet to reach a tentative deal. Both sides have said they remain far apart on the issue of pay and the unpaid work flight attendants do when planes aren't in the air. The airline's latest offer included a 38% increase in total compensation, including benefits and pensions, over four years, that it said 'would have made our flight attendants the best compensated in Canada.' But the union pushed back, saying the proposed 8% raise in the first year didn't go far enough because of inflation.

FLYW LOSS ALERT: Flywire Corporation Investors with Losses are Reminded of the September 23 Class Action Deadline – Contact BFA Law (NASDAQ:FLYW)

NEW YORK, Aug. 17, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Leading securities law firm Bleichmar Fonti & Auld LLP announces that a lawsuit has been filed against Flywire Corporation (NASDAQ: FLYW) and certain of the Company's senior executives for potential violations of the federal securities laws. If you invested in Flywire, you are encouraged to obtain additional information by visiting: Investors have until September 23, 2025, to ask the Court to be appointed to lead the case. The complaint asserts claims under Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 on behalf of investors who purchased Flywire securities. The case is pending in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of New York and is captioned Hickman v. Flywire Corp., et al. , No. 1:25-cv-04110. Why Was Flywire Sued for Securities Fraud? Flywire operates as a payments-enablement, and software company. Its largest client vertical is education, the volumes and revenue from which rely on international enrollments and student school preferences. In and around late 2023 and early 2024, the Canadian and Australian governments began to tighten student visa and permitting rules. Despite these headwinds, Flywire consistently touted the sustainability of its revenue growth and financial condition, while downplaying the negative impacts of permit- and visa-related headwinds on the Company's business. In truth, it is alleged that Flywire overstated the strength and sustainability of its revenue growth while understating the negative impacts that the permit- and visa-related restrictions had and were likely to have on Flywire's business. The Stock Declines as the Truth Is Revealed On February 25, 2025, Flywire announced that its business in the education sector had significantly deteriorated due to worsening permit- and visa-related headwinds, including 'double digit declines in student visa issuance in our big four geographic markets,' with 'continued visa policy restrictions' anticipated in 2025. On this news, the price of Flywire stock declined roughly 37%, from $17.64 per share on February 25, 2025, to $11.05 per share on February 26, 2025. Click here for more information: What Can You Do?
