Flight attendants with Air Canada shot down the airline’s latest wage offer.
The tentative agreement, which ended a strike last month, includes a 12 percent salary hike for most junior flight attendants while senior members would enjoy an eight percent hike.
This is followed by similar raises in later years. CUPE added 99.1 percent of members turned down the proposal arguing flight attendants would still earn less than the federal minimum wage.
The wage issues are now in mediation and CUPE says will be resolved in arbitration if necessary.
The three-day flight attendant strike concluded August 19th with the assistance of a federal mediator after disrupting the travel plans of thousands of customers.
