Air Canada's unionized flight attendants began a strike to demand compensation for unpaid ground work. Talks resumed between the airline and the union after four days of the strike, which resulted in 700 daily flight cancellations and stranded 130,000 travelers. The union is firm in its stance, stating that workers will not return until wage issues and ground duties compensation are resolved. Despite a proposed 38% pay increase over four years, the airline recognizes the existing gap between its offer and the union’s demands, and government involvement is emerging to facilitate negotiations.
