Air Canada Faces Major Disruption as Flight Attendants Strike Continues

Air Canada has been significantly impacted by an ongoing strike from its flight attendants, who have continued to defy government orders to return to work. Despite a back-to-work order deemed illegal by union leaders, the flight attendants have demanded better compensation, including pay while planes are on the ground. The airline has suspended all flights and withdrawn its financial guidance, facing losses estimated at $60 million a day. The situation has escalated with union representatives ready to risk jail time to uphold their strike. Recent polls indicate that the majority of Canadians support the flight attendants in their struggle. As negotiations remain at an impasse, the Canadian government has intervened, pushing for arbitration while many travelers are stranded.
