Abstract

The article focuses on an arbitrator's ruling that mandates Air Canada to increase wages for its 15,000 cabin crew members by over 20% over four years. Following a three-day strike in August that resulted in the cancellation of over 2,000 flights, the union representing the flight attendants rejected a tentative agreement, leading to arbitration. The arbitrator's decision includes a 12% pay increase for mainline flight attendants and a 13% increase for Rouge attendants in the first year, with subsequent raises of 3%, 2.5%, and 2.75% in the following years. The union expressed dissatisfaction with the outcome, particularly regarding the rejection of a cost-of-living adjustment. [Extracted from the article]
