Air Canada flight attendants hold controversial wage vote | Workers’ Rights News

Vancouver, Canada: Nearly three weeks after flight attendants went on strike against Canada’s largest airline, Air Canada workers are voting on a contract to resolve the dispute, which galvanised the country’s labour movement.

Roughly 10,500 flight attendants launched a three-day strike on August 16, during the country’s peak month for air travel. After a day on picket lines, Ottawa ordered them back to work — but union leaders refused, risking jail and fines.
