Toronto – Air Canada on -board agents should be on strike stakes at airports of four big Canadian cities, as part of what their union describes as a national action day.
The Canadian Public Service Syndicate (SCFP) indicates that demonstrations are planned at Pierre-Elliott-Trudeau International Airport in Montreal, at PEARSON International Airport in Toronto, at Vancouver International Airport and Calgary International Airport, all at 1 p.m. East time.
The SCFP indicates that they want to raise public awareness of wages that they deem poor and unpaid work aboard an airplane outside the flight hours.
The SCFP indicates that it had to resume negotiations with the airline on Friday, after its members voted at 99.7 % in favor of a strike mandate.
The vote, which ended last Tuesday, means that on -board agents could disengage from August 16 at 0:01, with a notice of at least 72 hours.
The two parties have been in negotiations since the start of the year and the strike mandate comes after the airline and the union have concluded a conciliation process without achieving an agreement.
