Canadian jobs minister intervenes in Air Canada strike, orders flight attendants back to work
More than 10,000 Air Canada flight attendants who went on strike early Saturday will be ordered to return to work by the Canada Industrial Relations Board (CIRB), according to a Saturday announcement by Canadian Jobs Minister Patty Hajdu.
Air Canada suspended plans to restart operations Sunday after the union representing 10,000 flight attendants said it will defy a return to work order.
Air Canada Chief Executive Mike Rousseau said on Monday that the airline was "amazed" by the decision of its flight attendants' union to defy the Canada Industrial Relations Board, which has declared the union's strike unlawful.
