Air Canada-CUPE Negotiations End in Impasse
Article content
Air Canada still refuses to compensate flight attendants for all hours worked.
Article content
The union has been firm: all safety-related duties should be paid at full hourly rate. Air Canada does not agree.
Article content
On wages, Air Canada's last offer will still leave flight attendants living below poverty levels for many years to come.
Article content
We are heartbroken for our passengers. We do not want to go on strike, and we do not want to be locked out, but it is clear that Air Canada has no incentive to bargain.
Article content
Rather, Air Canada has refused to bargain in good faith due to the likelihood of the federal government using Section 107 of the Canada Labour Code to interfere in negotiations and have a contract imposed by an outside third-party arbitrator.

Jobs Minister Patty Hajdu to provide update on Air Canada labour dispute
OTTAWA – Jobs Minister Patty Hajdu is holding a news conference on Parliament Hill today to provide Canadians with an update on the Air Canada strike. Passengers around the world are feeling the effects after the union representing more than 10,000 flight attendants with Air Canada announced its members were walking off the job after it was unable to reach an eleventh-hour deal with the airline. The strike officially began just before 1 a.m. ET on Saturday and in turn, Air Canada locked out its agents about 30 minutes later due to the strike action. On Friday Hajdu urged the airline company and the union representing its flight attendants to get back to the negotiating table. In an interview with The Canadian Press, Hajdu said it's 'critical' that the two parties 'return to the table' to forge a deal on their own. Air Canada and business advocacy groups have called on the government to order binding arbitration to settle the dispute.
