More than 10,000 Air Canada flight attendants voted for a possible strike due to unresolved contract negotiations. Key issues include wages, work rules, and unpaid hours. The Air Canada Component of CUPE expressed frustration over the company's lack of negotiation progress. Division president Wesley Lesosky emphasized the urgency for serious negotiations. Although a strike vote indicates readiness for action, it does not guarantee a strike will happen. The union noted that a legal strike could commence as soon as August 16 if no agreement is reached. Air Canada acknowledged the vote and reaffirmed its commitment to bargaining.
"The company would rather drag their feet than negotiate on the things that matter to our members," said division president Wesley Lesosky. "Now, flight attendants have had a chance to weigh in and tell the company it's time to get serious about negotiating."
A strike vote indicates that members are prepared to go on strike, but doesn't necessarily mean a strike will occur.
