Air Canada Flight Attendants Reject Tentative Agreement, Averting Strike and Lockout

Air Canada flight attendants have rejected a tentative agreement, preventing a potential strike or lockout. The Canadian Union of Public Employees (CUPE), representing over 6,500 flight attendants at the airline, announced the outcome of the ratification vote.

The union reported that the membership voted against ratifying the proposed agreement. While specific details regarding the vote count were not immediately available, the rejection means the previous contract remains in effect.

Negotiations between CUPE and Air Canada will likely continue as both parties work towards a new agreement. The focus remains on reaching terms that are acceptable to the union’s membership.
