Air Canada says CIRB declares flight attendant strike ‘unlawful’

Air Canada (ACDVF) said the Canada Industrial Relations Council declared a strike activity in progress by the company’s 10,000 on -board agents is illegal and has ordered managers of the Canadian Union of Public Employees to ask its members to return to work. After a hearing on August 17, the CIRB said that the Cupe strike was illegal. He ordered the union management, which authorized the strike, to immediately say to its members to end the work stoppage. He also ordered individual members of the union to stop all illegal activities and return to work. In its decision, the Council said: the union and its officers immediately receive all the activities which declare or authorize an illegal strike of its members and to direct the members of the negotiation unit to resume the exercise of their functions; The members of the union’s negotiation unit are responsible for immediately resuming the exercise of their functions and refrain from engaging in illegal strike activities; The union and its officers will provide a written public opinion, either through its website or other means, to all members before 12:00 HAE on August 18, 2025, that it revoked its declaration or authorization of strike activities and that all members are required to resume the exercise of their functions. The intentional restart of Air Canada of Air Canada and Red Air Canada, which has been put in the ground since August 16 by the Cupe’s work disturbances, was prevented on August 17 by illegal striking activities of the CUP management. The airline now estimates that 500,000 client flights have been canceled accordingly. Air Canada regrets this impact on its customers and fully undertakes to return to service as soon as possible.
