Both airline and union agree to skip mediation and head directly to binding arbitration after flight attendants almost unanimously rejected a recent tentative agreement.
The labour impasse over Air Canada flight attendants’ wages will move straight to arbitration as the union presses to bring closure to the dispute after workers almost unanimously rejected a tentative agreement.
The Canadian Union of Public Employees’ Air Canada component (CUPE) told the Star on Tuesday that after nine months of bargaining, it saw “no evidence” that the employer would offer a deal members could support during another three days of mediation.
