"The tentative deal, which ended a strike at the airline last month, includes a 12 per cent salary increase this year for most junior flight attendants and an eight per cent bump for more senior members, followed by smaller raises in subsequent years. The Canadian Union of Public Employees (CUPE) said in a statement that 99.1 per cent of members rejected the proposal, arguing flight attendants would still earn less than federal minimum wage."
"Air Canada flight attendants on Saturday overwhelmingly voted against the airline's latest wage offer, their union said. "The wage issue is now in mediation and, if necessary, will be resolved in arbitration," the CUPE statement read. More to come"
Air Canada flight attendants overwhelmingly voted against the airline's latest wage offer, with 99.1 percent of Canadian Union of Public Employees (CUPE) members rejecting the proposal. The tentative deal that ended a strike last month includes a 12 per cent salary increase this year for most junior flight attendants and an eight per cent increase for more senior members, followed by smaller raises in subsequent years. CUPE argued that the proposed pay scales would still leave some flight attendants earning less than the federal minimum wage. The wage issue has entered mediation and may proceed to arbitration if necessary.
