The Union, which represents the Canadian Air hosts and flight attendants (Air Canada), announced on Tuesday to end a strike to demand an increase in wages and pay a financial allowance in exchange for working hours on the ground, after reaching an “initial agreement” with the National Air Transport Company.
About a thousand hosts and hostesses were gone on to work from midnight Saturday, confirming that the lines did not respond to their demands, which affected the travel of half a million people.
The Federation challenged an order issued by an organizational court to return to work on Sunday, forcing the company to back down from its plans to resume part of its services.
But after resuming the talks late Monday, the Union said that it had reached an initial agreement with the airline that would present it to its members to consider it.
The Canadian Federation of Public Sector Employees- “Air Canada” branch announced on Facebook on Tuesday “the end of the strike.
We have a preliminary agreement that we will present to them. ”The statement added,“ We are asked to inform our members of the need for full cooperation with the resumption of operations. ”
Air Canada said in a statement that it would “gradually resume its operations” after reaching an “agreement” with the Employees Union. The company announced that the first flights scheduled for Tuesday evening, but warned that the full service may not return seven to ten days.
“Restricting a large airline like Air Canada is a complex task,” added Michael Rousseau‘s President Michael Rousseau.
Full return (to service) may require more than a week, so we ask our customers patience and understanding in the coming days. “
