Around 130,000 passengers must be affected. Air Canada announced on Saturday, August 16, the suspension of all its flights on Saturday, August 16, a decision after a strike movement of its hosts and butlers linked to the issue of its remuneration.
“Now we are officially on strike,” said the Syndicate of the Public Service of Canada (SCFP) in a statement, which represents the browsing staff of 10,000 in question.
Air Canada, who directly serves 180 cities worldwide, reacted immediately by announcing that he has “suspended all its operations”, 700 flights scheduled for Saturday.
Air Canada “regrets the repercussions of the strike”
“Air Canada strongly advises customers concerned with not going to the airport,” the company added in a statement, adding that “deeply regrets the repercussions of the strike on customers.”
The SCFP had filed a 72 -hour strike warning on Wednesday. Even before the official start of the strike, the company had already announced the cancellation of almost 300 flights on Friday.
Beyond a salary increase, its navigation staff also claims to be paid for work hours, even in the approach, which was not the case until now.
