Air Canada to resume flights after the government forced arbitration with flight attendants

Air Canada said it plans to resume flights on Sunday yet The Canadian government interferedForced the amazing airlines and flight attendants to work and arbitration.

They were cut off on the strike, which started on Saturday morning, more than 100,000 passengers around the world during the peak summer travel season.

The largest airline in North America said in a statement that the first flights will resume on Sunday evening, but it will take several days before its operations return to normal. She said that some flights will be canceled over the seven to 10 days until the table is stable.

Natalie Garko, a spokeswoman for the Canadian Federation of Public Staff, told CBS News on Sunday that the demonstrations will continue to wander in Canada, despite the statement issued by the airline.

“We haven’t planned to cancel it,” she said in an email.

Less than 12 hours after the workers left the job, Federal Patterie Higdo’s Minister of Jobs ordered to prosecute 10,000 people, saying that it is not the time to risk with the economy and note the unprecedented definitions imposed by the United States on Canada. He referred Hungry to stop work to the Canadian Industrial Relations Council.

The airline said on Sunday that the Council of Industrial Relations in Canada has extended the duration of the current collective agreement until the new ruling is determined by the arbitrator.

The closure of the largest airline in Canada on Saturday affects about 130,000 people per day. Air Canada operates about 700 flights per day.

According to the numbers from the Cirium Air analysis provider, Air Canada canceled a total 671 flights on Saturday afternoon, after 199 on Friday. Another 96 flight scheduled for Sunday was suspended.

The bitter contract of the contract escalated on Friday, as the Federation rejected a pre -request for Air Canada to enter into the government’s arbitration, which allows the third -party mediator to determine the conditions of a new contract.

The flight attendants went out of the job at about one o’clock in the morning on Saturday. Almost at the same time, Air Canada said it will start closing flights from airports.

Last year, the government forced the country’s main railways to arbitration with its labor veil as it stopped. The Union suits railway workers, saying that the government removes the influence of the Union in negotiations.

The Business Council in Canada has urged the government to impose a binding arbitration in this case as well. The Canadian Chamber of Commerce welcomed the intervention.

Hajdo confirmed that her liberal government is not hostile to the union, saying that it is clear that the two sides are on a dead end.

Travelers whose flights are affected will be qualified to request a full recovery on the airline website or mobile application, according to Air Canada.

The airline said it will also provide alternative travel options through Canadian and foreign airlines as possible. However, he has warned that he could not guarantee immediate reservation because flights on other airlines are already full “due to the peak of summer travel.”

Air Canada and the Canadian Union of Public employees were in about eight months, but they have not yet reached a temporary deal.

The two sides said that they remain away from the issue of wages and the unpaid aircraft flight attendants when the planes are not in the air.

The last offer of the airline included an increase of 38 % in total compensation, including benefits and pensions, over a period of four years, which said, “It would have made our anti -aircraft the best compensation in Canada.”

But the union retreated, saying that the 8 % proposed increase in the first year did not go sufficiently due to inflation.
