Air Canada flight attendants' union serves 72-hour strike notice
Flight attendants could potentially walk off the job Saturday at 12:58 a.m. ET if a deal isn't reached by then to avoid a work stoppage.
On Tuesday, Air Canada said it had reached an impasse with the union as the two sides remained far apart in contract talks.
The Air Canada component of the Canadian Union of Public Employees has said its main sticking points revolve around what it calls flight attendants' 'poverty wages' and unpaid labour when planes aren't in the air.
The union rejected a proposal from the airline to enter a binding arbitration process, saying it prefers to negotiate a deal that its members can then vote on.
Air Canada says that if there are cancellations, it will notify customers via email and text message in advance of their travel, and they will be eligible for a full refund.

Cramer discussed the sentiment surrounding enterprise software stocks and CEO Marc Benioff's attempts to counter it: '. . .and I think that people should recognize that these companies are all being viewed as, let's say carrion, because what's happened is this that you can develop your own stuff that is better. Now Marc Benioff is doing some pushback on that by the way, he's saying that if you're doing process stuff, you're not going to be able to, maybe creative, that would be Adobe. But not, Salesforce. So Marc's pushing back Salesforce. . .' Pixabay/Public Domain Here are his previous remarks about Salesforce, Inc. (NYSE:CRM): 'Okay, so Salesforce is a little tough right now because right now, the enterprise software companies are all coming down. I have not been recommending the stock hard. I want to see what happens with the quarter. I wish I could be more definite, but sometimes it's better just to say I don't have a handle on it.'
