Workers in the leading transport company in Canada challenge the matter of returning to work, as they have been hungering their first 40 years.
Air Canada flight attendants said they will remain a strike despite the government -backed action council In order to return to work By 2 pm Easter (18:00 GMT), which they described as unconstitutional.
The Canadian Federation of Public Employees said in a statement on Sunday that the members will remain On the strike Air Canada called for the table “to negotiate a fair deal.”
The largest airline in Canada now says it will resume flights on Monday evening. The strike already affects about 130,000 passengers all over the world daily during the peak summer travel season.
The Canadian government moved on Saturday to end a strike by more than 10,000 flying lecturers at the largest airline in the country by asking the Council of Industrial Relations in Canada to request a binding arbitration.
The Labor Law in Canada gives the government to demand CIRB to impose binding arbitration in the interest of protecting the economy. CIRB issued the order, which Air Canada sought, and this was opposed to the union.
It is not customary for the union to challenge the CIRB order. It was not immediately clear the options that the government has if the union continues to strike.
Air Canada flight hosts left Saturday for the first time since 1985, after months of negotiations on a new contract.
Natasha Stea, a flight attendant of Canada Airlines and head of a local federation, told Reuters that other unions have joined the Solidarity Hosts sit -in line in Toronto on Sunday.
“They support here today because they see our rights are eroding,” Sitia said.
The most controversial issue was the Union’s request to compensate for the time it spends on the ground between flights and when he helped passengers in the Passenger Council. The attendees are only pushed to a large extent when their plane moves.
The workers are also not satisfied with the increase in the proposed wages of Air Canada and other compensation conditions, which they see are insufficient to keep up with inflation or match the minimum federal wages.
