Media Advisory/REMINDER: Air Canada, clock ticking... no deal in sight yet
(firmenpresse) - MONTREAL, QUEBEC -- (Marketwire) -- 09/18/11 -- After five days of hard bargaining, the position of the employer remains unacceptable to the union. On Saturday evening, union representatives provided the employer with a comprehensive offer. At this point in time, the union is waiting for the response from the employer.
Flight attendants have been without a contract since March 31, 2011. Flight attendants will be in a legal strike position starting at one minute past midnight on Wednesday Sept. 21, 2011, unless a deal is reached before then.
In August, the flight attendants rejected a tentative agreement by 87.8 per cent. They later voted 98 per cent in favour of a strike mandate.
The Air Canada flight attendants are emergency specialists whose primary role is to ensure safety of over 100,000 passengers who travel each day in Canada and around the world.
