However, he warned that the strike “is still underway” and that the talks “are just beginning”.
Despite the conflict that continues and despite the magnitude of the points of discord, there is now a new hope that an agreement will be concluded shortly to end the strike of Air Canada on -board agents.
According to the SCFP, the union which represents the on -board agents, the two parties met last night (Monday) and both seated again at the negotiation table.
On Monday, Air Canada had extended until 4 p.m. (HE) today (Tuesday August 19), the cancellation of all of his Air Canada and Air Canada Rouge flights, and the company’s operations chief said that the on -board agents had to resume work before the company could continue the negotiations.
The Canadian Public Service union said that without negotiated regulations, on -board agents would remain on strike.
But the Air Canada section of the SCFP indicated in an online update addressed to its members last night that the company had contacted and that meetings had resumed with the help of a mediator.
However, the union has warned that the strike “is still underway” and that talks “are just beginning”. Previously during the day, he had issued a press release reiterating his desire to go to the end in his approach. “The strike will continue as long as no fair understanding for their members are concluded,” said the SCFP.
