Air Canada Flight Attendants Say They Will Defy Back-to-Work Order
The union representing Air Canada's 10,000 flight attendants said on Sunday that it would defy a back-to-work order and continue a strike that shut down Canada's dominant carrier and severely disrupted travel throughout the country. The announcement came at the same time that Air Canada had ordered the flight attendants to show up for work Sunday afternoon to restart service that evening. 'We will be challenging this blatantly unconstitutional order that violates the charter rights of 10,000 flight attendants, 70 percent of whom are women, and 100 percent of whom are forced to do hours of unpaid work by their employer every time they come to work,' the Canadian Union of Public Employees said in statement. 'We remain on strike. We demand a fair, negotiated contract and to be compensated for all hours worked.' The flight attendants went on strike over wages. They are also seeking to be paid for work they perform on the ground before takeoff and after landing. Less than 12 hours after the attendants went on strike early Saturday morning, Patty Hajdu, the federal labor minister, told the Canada Industrial Relations Board to use binding arbitration to come up with a contract and to shut down the strike. The independent board ordered the flight attendants to return to work at 2 p.m. Eastern time on Sunday. The Supreme Court of Canada has upheld the right of workers to strike even when it causes disruptions. It has not, however, specifically addressed using arbitration to end walkouts. Air Canada asked the government to impose it last week before the strike began. Before the union's announcement on Sunday, Air Canada said it would resume some flights in the evening. The labor board can issue fines, which can be turned into court orders, for defying its order.

Air Canada flight attendants to remain on strike, defying government's back-to-work order
More than 10,000 Air Canada flight attendants will continue their strike despite back-to-work orders from the Canadian government, the Air Canada component of the Canadian Union of Public Employees said Sunday. 'At this time, you are still on Strike and Locked out! Please remember while we are locked out there is no obligation to be in contact with the employer, no responsibility to check Globe or your work email or to contact them for reassignment or reserve duties,' the union wrote in a committee update. The decision to remain on strike defies the Canadian Jobs Minister's decision to intervene using Section 107 of the Canada Labor Code. On Saturday, Jobs Minister Patty Hajdu instructed the Canadian Labor Relations Board (CLRB) to order Air Canada and its employees to 'resume and continue their operations and duties in order to secure industrial peace and protect the interests of Canada, Canadians and the economy.' Air Canada had requested on Tuesday that the government intervene using the provision, which allows the minister to direct an arbitrator to intervene in the dispute, the Canadian Union of Public Employees said Friday in a statement. On Sunday, Air Canada said in a statement that it would restart flights. Members of the Air Canada component of CUPE voted 99.7% in favor of the strike last week and walked out around 1 a.m. ET on Saturday. The workers are seeking wage increases and paid compensation for work when planes are grounded. On Saturday, Wesley Lesosky, president of the Air Canada component of CUPE, said the Canadian government was 'violating our Charter rights to take job action and give Air Canada exactly what they want - hours and hours of unpaid labour from underpaid flight attendants, while the company pulls in sky-high profits and extraordinary executive compensation.' Air Canada has said it offered a 38% increase in total compensation over four years and an hourly raise of 12% to 16% in the first year. Hajdu denied that the Canadian government is anti-union, adding that it was clear Air Canada and union workers were 'at an impasse' and 'they need some help in arbitrating the final items.'
