Canada's industrial relations board ruled a strike by 10,000 Air Canada flight attendants illegal, mandating they return to work amid a contract dispute over wages. The strike disrupted hundreds of summer flights affecting over 130,000 people daily. The government, asserting a need for arbitration, acted following a breakdown in negotiations. Flight attendants resisted the back-to-work order, accusing the government of infringing on workers' rights. Union representatives criticized the process, claiming it favors corporate interests, while Air Canada initially aimed to resume operations following the order.
