""That's not to say it isn't true. That's just to say that the records aren't matching," Hajdu said."
""We asked both the unions and the employer to provide more detailed, granular data about the pay itself. And we just didn't get sufficient information to really fully determine, one way or another, the validity of the argument.""
"Employers in federally regulated industries like the airline sector must compensate employees at or above a bar set by the federal minimum wage."
Jobs Minister Patty Hajdu says the labour department requires more information from carriers and unions to resolve allegations of unpaid work in the airline sector. The government published initial findings from a probe into claims raised during Air Canada collective bargaining after more than 10,000 flight attendants struck in August 2025. The probe's first phase did not find evidence that compensation practices broadly fall below federal standards, but it flagged part-time and entry-level compensation for closer examination. Investigators heard anecdotal accounts of unpaid delayed-flight work that could not be verified in pay records. Hajdu said the department requested granular pay data from both sides but did not receive sufficient information to fully determine the allegations' validity.
