The strike of flight servers continues as Air Canada and Cabin Crew Union CV negotiations

Air Canada and the union representing 10,000 striking flight servers resumed provisional discussions on Monday night, with their first talks in almost a week, according to a trade union statement, Reuters reports. In an unusual performance by Defiance, the Canadian Union of Public Employees (Cupe) continued its strike despite the Council of Industrial Relations in Canada who illegally decided the action, according to a report by Reuters.

The strike is still ongoing and it has just begun,” it said. The Canadian Employee Minister Patty Hajdu forced both parties to return to the negotiating table and reach a collective agreement for workers as soon as possible. Air Canada CEO Mike Rousseau on Monday defended the offer of the airline of a 38% increase in compensation to striking flight adjusters, but said there was a big gap in the union’s claim and did not offer a path to return to negotiations, Reuters reports. Hours later, Minister Hajdu raised pressure on Air Canada, saying that she was paying an investigation into aviation and that a negotiated agreement between workers and the company would provide ‘the best transaction’. The comments of Hajdu and Rousseau followed the trade union’s refusal of the order of a federal labor to return to work. This has created a three-way stance between the company, workers and the government and raised interests in a dispute that disrupted flights for hundreds of thousands of travelers during the tourist season. Unpaid work flight servers want higher wages and pay for time spent on passengers and perform other duties on the ground. They are not paid specifically for such work, and Hajdu in her comments on X, expressed a surprise at what his allegations of unpaid work at the airline have been in contract talks for months that include the land payment requirements.

The airline, which already has a reduced profits due to a decline in US -bound bookings, usually transports about 130,000 passengers daily and is a member of the Global Star Alliance Network.
