Hundreds of flights that start with the start of industrial work

Air Canada has suspended all its flights with a strike from the cabin employees – a move that the airline said that travel plans for about 130,000 passengers per day.

The Federation, which represents more than 10,000 Canada Airlines attendees, confirmed industrial work for 72 hours early on Saturday morning.

The airline said it had suspended all flights, including those under the Air Canada Rouge budget, and advised the influential customers not to travel to the airport unless it flying with a different airline.

Air Canada flight hosts call for higher salaries and are paid for work when planes are on the ground.

The strike entered into 00:58 et (04:58 GMT) on Saturday, although Air Canada began to limit its operations before that. The airline says about 500 flights will be affected daily.

The flight attendants will occupy the main Canadian airports, where the passengers were already trying to secure new reservations earlier in the week.

Air Canada, which flies directly to 180 cities worldwide, said it has “suspended all operations” and that it “highly advised the affected customers not to go to the airport.”

He added that Jazz Air Canada, Pal Airlines and Air Canada Express were not affected by the strike.

“Air Canada strongly regrets the impact of the strike on customers,” he said.

By Friday night, the airline said it had canceled 623 flights affecting more than 100,000 passengers, as part of the end of operations before the strike.

In contract negotiations, the airline said that it offered a 38 % increase in flight attendants in total compensation over a period of four years, with a 25 % increase in the first year.

Kobe said that the offer was “less than inflation, without market value, without the minimum wage”, and will still leave unpaid airlines for a few hours of work, including climbing and waiting at airports before flights.

The Union and the airline publicly circulated that each other’s willingness to reach an agreement.

Earlier this month, 99.7 % of the employees represented by the Union voted in favor of a strike.

Canadian Minister of Service Batti Hajwad urged Canada and Al -Ittihad this week to return to the bargaining table to avoid the strike.

She also said in a statement that Canada’s flight asked her to refer the dispute to the binding arbitration.

CUPE confirmed that it was negotiating in good faith for more than eight months, but Canada Air instead sought the government’s arbitration.

“When we stood strongly, Canada did not reach the table in good faith,” Al -Ittihad said in a statement to its members. “Instead, they called on the federal government to intervene and take these rights away.”
