Air Canada Strike Ends as Airline and Flight Attendants Reach Tentative Agreement
Air Canada has announced that flights will resume following the conclusion of a strike by flight attendants, after a tentative agreement was reached between the airline and the union, CUPE. The strike had resulted in significant operational disruptions, leading to the cancellation of thousands of flights and stranding numerous passengers. The agreement comes after days of defiance from the union, which had rejected government intervention orders and continued negotiations. The airline has begun to gradually restart its services, although it may take time to return to full operational capacity. This situation has drawn considerable public attention and criticism regarding the impacts on travelers and the ongoing labor disputes within the airline industry.
