Air Canada plans to gradually resume services following a mediated settlement with its flight attendants' union, thus ending a strike initiated over pay and unpaid ground work. The agreement ensures flight attendants receive compensation for duties performed while planes are on the ground. The strike began abruptly, leading to the cancellation of around 700 daily flights and leaving about 130,000 travelers stranded during the peak summer season. The airline's CEO offered a 38% pay increase over four years, while the strike was deemed unlawful by the Canada Industrial Relations Board.
