Aug. 19 Air Canada and the union representing Canadian flight attendants have reached a tentative deal to end the strike that started Saturday.
« Flight attendants at Air Canada and Air Canada Rouge have reached a tentative agreement, achieving transformational change for our industry after a historic fight to affirm our Charter rights », the Canadian Union of Public Employees said in a statement.
Air Canada said it will gradually restart its operations Tuesday after reaching a mediated agreement with CUPE through a process overseen by a mutually agreed-to mediator.
« The suspension of our service is extremely difficult for our customers », Air Canada said in a statement. « We deeply regret and apologize for the impact on them of this labor disruption. Our priority now is to get them moving as quickly as possible.
« Restarting a major carrier like Air Canada is a complex undertaking. Full restoration may require a week or more, so we ask for our customers’ patience and understanding over the coming days.
