Air Canada says the Canada Industrial Relations Board has declared the flight attendant strike unlawful, and has ordered CUPE leaders to direct flight attendants back to work.
It follows a hearing held yesterday (Sunday).
The union’s bargaining unit has also been directed to resume the performance of their duties, and union officers to provide written public notice that it has revoked its declaration of strike activities by 9am
(PDT) today.
Air Canada and Air Canada Rouge have been grounded since Saturday due to CUPE’s labour disruption.
The airline now estimates 500,000 customers’ flights have been cancelled as a result.
The union’s big issues are wages….and being paid for the time they actually work.
Currently, the flight attendants are only paid from when the aircraft doors close until they open at their destination.
