Canadian govt intervenes to end Air Canada strike as 10 000 flight attendants ground flights
Air Canada's 10 000 flight attendants went on strike over wage disputes, forcing the airline to cancel hundreds of flights. The Canadian Union of Public Employees (CUPE) was seeking wage increases above inflation and compensation for unpaid ground work. The strike threatened Canada's economy during existing trade pressures from Trump's tariffs. The Canadian government intervened on Saturday to end a strike by Air Canada cabin crew members that saw hundreds of flights cancelled and triggered summer travel chaos for the carrier's 130 000 daily passengers. Canada's largest airline, which flies directly to 180 cities worldwide, had stopped all operations after some 10 000 flight attendants began industrial action fueled by a wage dispute just after midnight on Saturday. Hours later, Canada's labour policy minister, Patty Hajdu, moved to invoke a legal provision that would halt the strike and force both sides into binding arbitration. "This is not a decision that I have taken lightly. The potential for immediate negative impact on Canadians and our economy is simply too great," Hajdu told journalists. However, she said it could still take five to 10 days for Air Canada to resume regular services after the disruption. The airline had earlier urged customers not to go to the airport if they have a ticket for Air Canada or its lower-cost subsidiary Air Canada Rouge. It said flights by Air Canada Express, which are operated by a third party, would not be impacted by the walkout. The Canadian Union of Public Employees (CUPE), which is representing the workers, said its members would remain on strike until the government formally issues an order that they return to work. The union's Air Canada branch wrote on Facebook: Please remember there is only a referral, we are still in a legal position to strike and will continue to do so, we must show the company we are in control of this. In a separate statement, CUPE slammed the Canadian government's intervention as "rewarding Air Canada's refusal to negotiate fairly by giving them exactly what they wanted." "This sets a terrible precedent," it added. "This will only ensure that the unresolved issues will continue to worsen by kicking them down the road." Unpaid ground work In addition to wage increases, the union says it wants to address uncompensated ground work, including during the boarding process. Rafael Gomez, who heads the University of Toronto's Centre for Industrial Relations, told AFP it is "common practice, even around the world" to compensate flight attendants based on time spent in the air. He said the union had built an effective communication campaign around the issue, creating a public perception of unfairness. An average passenger, not familiar with common industry practice, could think, "'I'm waiting to board the plane and there's a flight attendant helping me, but they're technically not being paid for that work,'" he said, speaking before the strike began. "That's a very good issue to highlight," Gomez said, adding that gains made by Air Canada employees could impact other carriers. Andrew Francis Wallace/Toronto Star via Getty Images Air Canada detailed its latest offer in a Thursday statement, specifying that under the terms, a senior flight attendant would, on average, make CAN$87,000 ($65,000) by 2027. CUPE has described Air Canada's offers as "below inflation (and) below market value." The union has also rejected requests from the federal government and Air Canada to resolve outstanding issues through independent arbitration. Canada's economy, though showing resilience, has begun feeling the effects of US President Donald Trump's trade war, with his tariffs hitting crucial sectors like auto, aluminum and steel. In a statement issued before the strike began, the Business Council of Canada warned an Air Canada work stoppage could add further pain. "At a time when Canada is dealing with unprecedented pressures on our critical economic supply chains, the disruption of national air passenger travel and cargo transport services would cause immediate and extensive harm to all Canadians," it said.

CoreWeave Crashes 46% After Lockup--Is This the AI Bargain of the Year or a Falling Knife?
CoreWeave's (NASDAQ:CRWV) post-IPO honeymoon may be ending. After skyrocketing more than fourfold by mid-June, the stock has come back to earthfalling 46% from its June 20 peak. The trigger? Over 80% of Class A shares just became eligible for sale as the IPO lockup expired. That timing came two days after CoreWeave's second earnings report, which revealed a wider-than-expected loss despite a raised 2025 revenue forecast. The stock has already dropped 33% this week alone, with analysts flagging the potential for more downside as early investors head for the exit. Warning! GuruFocus has detected 5 Warning Signs with CRWV. The selloff could create both risk and opportunity. CoreWeave now trades at a roughly $49 billion market cap, down from a June high of $88 billion. Its free floatpreviously under 15%could expand significantly as insiders begin selling. That's likely what spooked the market, according to Roundhill CEO Dave Mazza, who called it a challenging, even confusing setup. Citi's Tyler Radke echoed that sentiment, warning of short-term pressure but suggesting that a more liquid float might attract new buyers. Meanwhile, Nvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA)CoreWeave's key AI chip supplierisn't going anywhere. It actually increased its stake in Q2 to 6.5%, now worth about $2.4 billion. The long-term bull case hasn't vanished. CoreWeave is still spending aggressivelyup to $23 billion this yearto meet rising AI demand, and counts Microsoft as its largest customer. But execution risk is climbing, especially with its all-stock acquisition of Core Scientific looming. Hedge funds like Magnetar and Coatue may opt to ease out slowly to avoid triggering further panic. D.A. Davidson's Gil Luria has a $36 price target, implying over 60% downside from recent levels. Whether this marks a healthy reset or the beginning of a deeper unwind depends on who shows up to buyif anyone does. This article first appeared on GuruFocus.
