The plate personnel union announced the end of the strike in the Canadian airline Air Canada, evoking an “agreement in principle.” The discussions between Air Canada and the hosts and the strikers on strike began on Monday night to try to find a social movement that affected 500,000 people since Saturday and paralyzed the largest company in the country.
For its part, Air Canada has confirmed “gradually” its activities “gradually” due to the end of the strike.
Some 10,000 agents on board have stopped working during the weekend to request salary increases and compensation for unpaid land work, even in the approach. A few hours later, the Canadian government, believing that the strike “directly affected the Canadian economy,” decided to intervene, invoke a legal disposition to suspend the strike and force both parties to a binding arbitration.
Tension climbing at the end of the weekend
But Air Canada employees elected Sunday to challenge the court order of the Canadian Industrial Relations Council (CCRI), a regulatory court, which had ordered them to resume work. On Monday, they said their determination again and announced that they would not resume work, even if the CCI regulators increased the pressure by ordering the plate agents “to immediately resume their functions and refrain from participating in illegal strike activities.”
On Monday night, the personnel on board announced a meeting with Air Canada. “At the moment, the strike is still underway and the conversations are just beginning,” said the organization affiliated with the Canadian public service (SCFP) on Facebook. According to the Canadian national carrier, who directly serves 180 cities in Canada and abroad, the strike led cancellations that affect half a million people.
“The most profitable companies use all the tools at their disposal to impose salaries of misery and crush the rights of employees. The sole objective of our members is to pay for their working time,” added Candace Rennick, secretary-seorero of the same union.
