Air Canada suspended all operations because flight attendants run on strike, government force mediation

air Canada And its striking flight attendants were forced to work back and on Saturday after the morning strike by Saturday government, more than 100,000 passengers worldwide were trapped during the summer journey season.

Federal Job Minister Patty Hazdu said that it is no longer time to take risks with the economy, announcing the intervention. This means that 10,000 flight attendants will return to work soon.

Hajdu said, “The dialogue broke. It is clear that parties are not close to resolve some major issues that remain and will require help with the mediator.”

Hazdu said that it may take days to resume the services, given that it is dependent on the Canada Industrial Relations Board.

Earlier on Saturday, the airline suspended all operations as more than 10,000 flight attendants of the airline went on strike after a time limit for reaching a deal. Air Canada operates around 700 flights per day.

The Canadian Association said in a statement, “We are now officially on strike! Picket lines will be active at all locations.”

This is the first strike by flight attendant since 1985.

“The liberals have talked to both sides of their mouths. He said that the best place for this is on the bargaining table. They refused to fix this historical injustice through law,” said Vesley Lesuski, president of the Air Canada component of the Canadian Union of Public Employees.

“Now, when we are on the bar of bargaining with an obstacle employer, liberalist is violating our charter rights to take action and giving Air Canada in exactly the same way they want-the hour of unpaid labor for hours and hours from the underpad flight attendant, while the company draws in a statement in a statement, while the company draws in a statement in the lasid Said.

A bitter contract between Canadian’s largest airline and its 10,000 flight attendants increased on Friday as the Sangh turned down the airline’s request to enter the mediation directed by the government, which would eliminate its right to strike and allow a third-party medieval to decide the terms of a new contract.

Flight attendants left the job around 1 pm on Saturday. At the same time, Air Canada said it would close flight attendants from airports.

Union spokesperson Hug Poliut earlier said that the Sangh had a meeting with representatives of Hajdu and Air Canada on Friday evening.

He said in an email, “CUPE has attached to the arbitration to fulfill our desire to continue the negotiation – despite the fact that Air Canada has not competed with our previous two proposals since Tuesday.” “We are here to do a deal, not to go on strike.”

A full shutdown will affect around 130,000 people daily, and around 25,000 Canadians will be stranded abroad each day. Air Canada operates around 700 flights per day.

Kelin Prannitz from Ottawa was returning from a European holiday with his family, when he was stranded at London’s Heathro Airport after the flights were canceled. He said that there was an option for passengers to go to the United States, but it was told that there would be no more help after landing in America.

“It didn’t go well with the line. No one was really interested, everyone looked almost a bit surprised at the suggestion, or was exaggerated, as it is a bit ridiculous that offering trapped passengers into a separate country is a bit ridiculous,” he said.

Montreal resident Alex Laroche, 21, and his girlfriend had been saving for her European holiday since Christmas. Now he is on a non -qualified housing line with his 8,000 -dollar travel, as he waits to hear his Saturday night flight from Air Canada about his Saturday night flight.

Laraocha said he considered booking new flights with a separate carrier, but he said that most of them are almost complete and cost more than double the $ 3,000 paid for their original tickets.

“At this point, this is just a waiting game,” he said.

Laraocha said he was initially upset with the Sangh’s decision to go on strike, but that after reading the major issues at the center of the contract negotiations, there was a change in his heart, including wages.

“His wages are barely lustable,” said the Laroche.

The airline said that it would also offer alternative travel options through other Canadian and foreign airlines if possible. But it warned that it could not guarantee immediate rending because flights on other airlines are already filled “due to summer journey peaks.”

The airline said in a statement, “Air Canada is advising strongly affected customers not to go to the airport unless they have a confirmation ticket on an airline besides Air Canada or Air Canada Roose,” the airline said in a statement. “Air Canada regrets customers as the impact on the strike affects.”

Canada is the second largest country in the world and flight is often the only viable way of traveling to the nation. The government forced two major railways of the country to mediate with its labor union during a work stop last year. The union is sueing for the railway workers, arguing that the government is taking advantage of a union in the talks.

The Business Council of Canada has urged the government to implement binding arbitration in the matter.

In anticipation of strike, airline started Cancel flights on Thursday and Friday Flight attendants did not report to work.

How long the airline aircraft will be seen will be seen, but Air Canada Chief Operating Officer Mark Nasar has said that once a tental deal is once a tental deal may take up to a week to resume operations.

According to Air Canada, passengers whose journey is affected will be eligible to request a full refund on the airline’s website or mobile app.

Air Canada and Canadian Union of Public Employees have been in contract talks for about eight months, but have not yet have to reach a temporary deal.

Both sides say that they stay far away on the issue of salary and do unpaid work when the aircraft are not in the air.

The latest proposal of the airline included a 38% increase in total compensation, including profit and pension in four years, stating that “our flight attendants would have been given the best compensation in Canada.”

But the Sangh pushed back, saying that the 8% increase in the first year did not go far away due to inflation.
