Statement from CUPE on Air Canada's Request for Binding Arbitration

TORONTO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The Air Canada Component of CUPE has respectfully urged Employment Minister Patty Hajdu not to intervene pursuant to section 107 of the Canada Labour Code thereby permitting collective bargaining to continue and allowing the parties to negotiate a resolution. The integrity of the collective bargaining process depends on allowing the parties to reach a resolution through free and fair negotiations, without undue interference. Rather than continuing to negotiate in good faith, Air Canada appears to have anticipated government intervention and has opted to suspend meaningful discussions, contrary to its legal obligation to bargain in good faith. On August 11, 2025, the Union submitted a revised wage proposal, which included the withdrawal of its long-standing position seeking the same wage adjustment previously provided by Air Canada to its pilots. Despite this significant concession, Air Canada declined to meaningfully engage with the proposal and did not present a counter-proposal. On August 12, 2025, the Union made additional and substantial modifications to its wage position. The Union did not receive a response to its proposals, instead, it learned for the first time, when meeting with Minister Hajdu on August 12, 2025, that it had been rejected. On August 12, 2025, Air Canada unilaterally declared an impasse and withdrew from the bargaining table. It has not returned. On August 12, 2025, unbeknownst to the Union, the Company made an extraordinary and premature request to the Minister seeking the application of section 107 to prevent a strike or lockout. It is clear from Air Canada's submissions to the Minister that it had planned to withdraw from bargaining and ask the Minister to interfere with the bargaining process. Early on August 13, 2025, given Air Canada's refusal to bargain, the Union issued notice of its intent to commence a legal strike beginning Saturday, August 16, 2025. Within minutes, Air Canada served a lockout notice. The Union submits that the appropriate course of action is for Air Canada to return to the table and resume good faith bargaining. Accordingly, Air Canada's request for ministerial intervention under section 107 should be firmly rejected. The mere prospect of ministerial intervention has had a chilling effect on Air Canada's obligation to bargain in good faith. Air Canada's request for intervention should be denied. Such a decision would reaffirm the principles of free collective bargaining and compel Air Canada to return to the bargaining table – where it ought to be – and engage meaningfully in negotiations, where it is likely that the Parties may be able to reach an agreement.

Market ‘overreaction' damaged LSEG's valuation, analyst says

The London Stock Exchange Group (LSEG) has faced a valuation battering after a market 'overreaction' to woes in its desktop analytics division, one analyst has said. LSEG has lost £8bn in market valuation so far in the third quarter, as concerns spiked over its Workflows business, which provides software and desktop solutions for financial professionals. Workflows has faced slowing growth in its annual subscription value 'amid minor evidence of a shift in the competitive pricing environment'. The threat of AI has also hurt LSEG's software solutions, with the new tech threatening to rival its analytics service. Shares in LSEG have taken a beating, losing over 20 per cent in the last six months. The group's stock now trades at 9,282.00p despite upgrading its earnings forecast and upping its dividend last month. But an analyst at the Royal Bank of Canada (RBC) said: 'Whilst some concerns may be rational, and the outcomes uncertain, we think the share price reaction has been outsized'. LSEG to 'Outperform' Ben Bathurst slapped an 'Outperform' rating on the group's stock, expecting it to 'materially outperform sector average over 12 months'. The analyst hiked the group's target price 43 per cent to 13,200 with a potential upside of 14,800. He added the 'outsized move' in stock 'creates an attractive risk and reward' in LSEG's valuation. Bathurst said: '2024 was another strong year for LSEG, delivering organic constant currency growth of eight per cent, exceeding stated targets and a reflection of the improved performance of the group.' RBC pencilled in a revenue estimate of just over £9bn for the coming year with the figure expected to grow to £9.5bn in 2026 and £10.2bn in 2027. However LSEG faces an ongoing headache amid a serious drought in listings on the London Stock Exchange. Just £160m was raised from five listings on the London markets in the first six months of the year, the lowest-first half since 1995. City grandees told this week a flurry of IPOs in the Autumn could given the embattled stock market a much-needed boost. 'The IPO jungle drums are starting to beat,' Charles Hall, head of research at Peel Hunt, said. 'A few successful IPOs would change the momentum… the levers are clear, they just need to be pulled.' Even if that does come to pass, however, LSEG may not be out of the woods. Share listings and trading fees now account for just three per cent of earnings for the group, which, through a string of acquisitions and strategic shifts, has evolved to become a huge data and analytics firm.
