Air Canada is resuming operations after reaching a tentative agreement with the union that represents its 10,000 flight attendants, putting an end to the strike that began on Aug. 16.
Air Canada and Air Canada Rouge will begin to gradually resume operations on Aug. 19 after reaching a mediated agreement with the Canadian Union of Public Employees (CUPE), the airline said in an Aug. 19 release. As part of the agreement, Air Canada’s flight attendants are required to immediately return to work.
