Air Canada cancels flights: What do we know about strike of Canada's largest carrier?
Air Canada is cancelling flights from Thursday, as the country's largest carrier winds down service ahead of a looming Saturday strike by its more than 10,000 flight attendants. Montreal-based Air Canada said on Wednesday it plans to cease flying on Saturday after its flight attendants' union served a 72-hour strike notice due to stalled contract talks over pay. Air Canada and Air Canada Rouge carry about 130,000 customers a day. A strike would hit the country's tourism sector during the height of summer travel. Air Canada is also the foreign carrier with the largest number of flights to the U.S. Finance Value and Valuation Masterclass - Batch 4 By CA Himanshu Jain View Program Artificial Intelligence AI For Business Professionals Batch 2 By Ansh Mehra View Program Finance Value and Valuation Masterclass - Batch 3 By CA Himanshu Jain View Program Artificial Intelligence AI For Business Professionals By Vaibhav Sisinity View Program Finance Value and Valuation Masterclass - Batch 2 By CA Himanshu Jain View Program Finance Value and Valuation Masterclass Batch-1 By CA Himanshu Jain View Program The standoff is testing the country's Liberal government under Prime Minister Mark Carney, which was asked by Air Canada to impose arbitration on both sides. Representatives of Carney and Jobs Minister Patty Hajdu did not respond to requests for comment on whether they would take action, such as imposing arbitration that would stop a strike. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Canada is looking for skilled immigrants from Jamaica! Canadian Visa Professionals Sign Up Hajdu on Tuesday encouraged both parties to remain at the table until a deal is reached. The dispute hinges on the way airlines compensate flight attendants. Most airlines have traditionally paid attendants only when planes are in motion. But flight attendants in North America have sought compensation for hours worked, including for tasks such as boarding passengers and waiting in the airport. The strike by flight attendants represented by the Canadian Union of Public Employees is set to begin at 12:58 a.m. EDT (0458 GMT) on Saturday. Air Canada has said customers would be fully refunded for cancellations, which could hit lucrative routes between Canada, the United States, Europe, and Asia. The airline also issued a lockdown notice beginning 32 minutes after the strike. It had declared a deadlock in negotiations on Tuesday, after the union rejected its proposal for binding arbitration. Live Events The carrier had offered a 38% increase in total compensation for flight attendants over four years, with a 25% raise in the first year. However, the union said the offer would raise actual wages by 17.2% over four years and was below inflation. Air Canada had offered to compensate flight attendants for some unpaid work, but only at 50% of their hourly rate. A union spokesperson said its negotiators are awaiting a response from Air Canada after it made a new proposal Tuesday night. Flight attendants have negotiated with more confidence, encouraged by improved airline earnings in 2024 and bumper pay deals for pilots since the pandemic. Such concessions would raise labor costs for Air Canada, which reported a drop in second-quarter profit, weighed down by weak passenger traffic to the U.S. FAQs Q1.

Slamming 50% Trump tariffs, farmer leader Chaduni urges ban on US firms in India
Haryana farmer leader Gurnam Singh Chaduni has called for a complete ban on American companies operating in India after US President Donald Trump announced steep tariffs on Indian week, Trump signed an Executive Order imposing an additional 25% duty on Indian imports — on top of an earlier 25% hike — citing India's continued purchase of Russian oil. The combined 50% tariff will take effect from August to the move, Bharatiya Kisan Union (Chaduni) chief Gurnam Singh Chaduni said India must "hit back in a similar manner" by targeting US companies. "The US has imposed heavy tariffs on India and India must hit back in a similar way and ban American companies operating on Indian soil," Chaduni told India Today farmer leader argued that many American businesses in India, especially large fast-food and retail chains, earn substantial profits and repatriate them to the US."Why are we allowing this when the US is imposing tariffs on us? We must give a similar reply and ban all these companies," he said. "You travel on highways and one can spot the big food giants of the US spreading their business all over. This must stop," Chaduni farmer leader, who played a prominent role in the 2022 anti-farm laws protests, said the government must take a firm stand to deter future trade pressure from Washington."We cannot allow anyone to dictate things to us like this. If we don't take a stand now, America will continue to do this in the future too and threaten us regularly. The US-based companies should immediately be banned and not allowed to mint money," he demand also comes against the backdrop of a long-standing flashpoint in India–US trade of the contentious issues has been the proposed entry of US companies into India's dairy and agriculture sectors — a move New Delhi has consistently resisted, citing potential threats to farmers' livelihoods and to the country's self-reliance in these key Washington escalating trade tensions through higher tariffs, Chaduni's call to ban US businesses signals growing pressure on the Indian government to respond with stronger retaliatory measures.- EndsMust Watch
