Mark Hancock said there is ‘no limit’ to what he will do to get a deal for cabin crew after a federal labour board called the strike illegal.
A leader of the union on strike against Air Canada said on Monday he would risk jail time rather than allow cabin crew to be forced back to work by a federal labour board, raising the stakes in a battle that has disrupted flights for hundreds of thousands of travellers during tourist season.
The Canadian Union of Public Employees (CUPE) said the strike would continue until the carrier negotiates on wages and unpaid work, even after the Canada Industrial Relations Board (CIRB) declared the strike unlawful.
