Flight attendants' union says it declined arbitration proposal by Air Canada
The union representing Air Canada's flight attendants says it has declined a proposal by the airline to resolve negotiations through arbitration. In an update posted on the bargaining committee's website, the Canadian Union of Public Employees (CUPE) wrote that Air Canada had proposed referring the matter to binding interest arbitration. That process would bring a third-party arbitrator into the talks to mediate on specific items that haven't been agreed on by both sides and render a decision. It would also suspend the chance of a lockout or strike. CUPE members voted overwhelmingly in favour of a strike mandate last week, setting up a potential strike to begin as soon as 12:01 a.m. ET on Aug. 16. CUPE published a letter addressed to the president of its Air Canada component, Wesley Lesosky, and signed by Air Canada vice-president and human resources chief Arielle Meloul-Wechsler on Monday. After eight months of negotiation, we have been unable to reach a tentative collective agreement despite our best efforts, the letter says. Outlining the proposal, it adds that if we cannot agree on an arbitrator within 30 days of your agreeing to the proposal, we ask the Minister of Labour to name one. Air Canada has communicated to the union that the sides are too far apart, according to CUPE. The union says in its update that it intends to stay at the bargaining table. A representative for CUPE told CBC News that both sides are back to evaluating proposals after their exchange. CBC News has reached out to Air Canada for comment. Binding interest arbitration tends to be preferred by employers because you are avoiding the strike and the business disruption, said Malini Vijaykumar, employment and labour lawyer at Nelligan Law in Ottawa. Talks ongoing since March CUPE's Air Canada component represents more than 10,000 flight attendants who work for the major airline and its budget carrier Air Canada Rouge. Some of those workers held demonstrations outside four major Canadian airports on Monday for what the union called a day of action. The union says the most contentious issues at the bargaining table are wages — which it says have not kept pace with inflation — and unpaid work that occurs before boarding and after deplaning, such as safety checks and assisting passengers. CUPE said last week that it would continue talks with Air Canada until Aug. 15, the day before a potential strike. The two parties have been negotiating since March, when the previous 10-year collective agreement expired. But the talks reached an impasse in May, at which point the union filed for conciliation with the federal labour minister. At the time, Air Canada said that its pay structure is in step with other global carriers. Delta Air Lines is the only major North American airline that offers ground pay (new window) to its flight attendants, paying them at half their hourly rate for 40 to 50 minutes of boarding time depending on the flight destination and aircraft.

ARIS MINING COMMENTS ON RECENT SHARE PRICE VOLATILITY
VANCOUVER, BC, Aug. 12, 2025 /CNW/ - Aris Mining Corporation ("Aris Mining" or the "Company") (TSX: ARIS) (NYSE-A: ARMN) is aware of recent volatility in its share price and increased trading volumes. The Company understands that this activity relates to a secondary sale by Mubadala Investment Company PJSC ("Mubadala") of its entire shareholding in Aris Mining, comprising 15.75 million common shares. The transaction was completed between Mubadala and a broad base of institutional investors by way of a block trade through the facilities of the Toronto Stock Exchange. Neil Woodyer, Aris Mining's CEO, commented: "Mubadala's Aris Mining shares became free trading in late June 2025, following the one-year hold period after the Soto Norte transaction. With the recent expiry of our exchange-traded warrants and the completion of this block trade, two significant overhangs have been removed, resulting in a broader and more diversified shareholder base. We continue to advance the Pre-Feasibility Study for Soto Norte and look forward to releasing the results in September." About Aris Mining Founded in September 2022, Aris Mining was established with a vision to build a leading Latin America-focused gold mining company. Our strategy blends current production and cashflow generation with transformational growth driven by expansions of our operating assets, exploration and development projects. Aris Mining intends to unlock value through scale and diversification. The Company is listed on the TSX (ARIS) and the NYSE-A (ARMN) and is led by an experienced team with a track record of value creation, operational excellence, financial discipline and good corporate governance in the gold mining industry. Aris Mining operates two underground gold mines in Colombia: the Segovia Operations and the Marmato Complex, which together produced 210,955 ounces of gold in 2024. With expansions underway, Aris Mining is targeting an annual production rate of more than 500,000 ounces of gold, following the commissioning of the second mill at Segovia, completed in June and ramping up during H2 2025, and the construction of the Bulk Mining Zone at the Marmato Complex, expected to start ramping up production in H2 2026. In addition, Aris Mining operates the 51% owned Soto Norte joint venture, where studies are underway on a new, smaller scale development plan, with results expected in Q3 2025. In Guyana, Aris Mining owns the Toroparu gold/copper project, where a new Preliminary Economic Assessment (PEA) is underway and its results are also expected in Q3 2025.
