Air Canada flight attendants went on strike on Saturday due to a lack of a contract agreement regarding an increase in wages. The Canadian Union of Public Employees (CUPE) represented 10,000 attendants, causing flights across the Great White North to be canceled. The airline has offered to rebook passengers on alternate airlines, but many options are out of reach due to the summer travel peak. Air Canada has suggested third-party, binding arbitration with the union to mitigate the impact on travelers, business, and the Canadian economy. CUPE argued that the proposed pay raise did not account for inflation and that Air Canada’s request for intervention should be denied. Air Canada Express flights operated by Jazz and PAL Airlines are expected to continue operations as normal, carrying 20% of the airline’s daily customers. Both Air Canada and Air Canada Rouge carry approximately 130,000 customers a day, disrupting travel for 25,000 Canadians who use the airline to fly home from abroad each day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
