Canadian Government Intervenes to Resolve Air Canada Flight Attendant Strike
The Canadian government has taken decisive action to end the strike by Air Canada flight attendants, which had grounded hundreds of flights and caused significant travel disruptions for over 130,000 passengers. In a move to restore operations, the government is seeking binding arbitration and has ordered both the airline and the union to return to the bargaining table. The strike began after the flight attendants and Air Canada failed to reach an agreement, leading to the cancellation of numerous flights and creating chaos at major airports. As the situation escalated, the jobs minister intervened, mandating the flight attendants to return to work while arbitration proceedings are set to take place. With this intervention, Air Canada is expected to resume normal operations, offering relief to travelers affected by the strike.
