Air Canada and Flight Attendants' Union Agree on Tentative Agreement to Resolve Strike

Agreement Reached: Air Canada's unionized flight attendants have reached a tentative agreement with the airline, ending the strike.

Compensation Details: The airline initially offered a 38% total compensation increase over four years, which included a 25% raise in the first year, but the union found this insufficient.

Focus on Unpaid Work: Flight attendants sought compensation for tasks like boarding passengers that are currently unpaid, aiming to secure better terms than their U.S. counterparts.

Impact on Operations: The agreement provides relief for Air Canada, which had to cancel hundreds of flights, as it typically serves around 130,000 customers daily.
