Air Canada has suspended plans to resume flights due to the Canadian Union of Public Employees' defiance of a federal back-to-work order. Approximately 240 flights that were scheduled to operate were canceled. The union plans to continue the strike, asserting rights violations against flight attendants. The airline aims to operate flights on Monday evening, but with over 10,000 attendants still striking, operational clarity is uncertain. Critics, including CUPE's vice-president, express frustration over the government's intervention in the labor dispute.
Air Canada has canceled approximately 240 flights scheduled to operate starting that afternoon due to a union defying a federal back-to-work order.
The Canadian Union of Public Employees stated they would challenge the federal directive, claiming it violates the Charter rights of flight attendants.
Over 10,000 flight attendants remain on strike, leading to uncertainty regarding Air Canada's ability to operate flights starting Monday evening.
Lillian Speedie, vice-president of CUPE Local 4092, criticized the government's decision to legislate workers back to their jobs so soon after the strike began.
