Flight attendants with Air Canada are voting on whether to accept a new tentative agreement from their employer. After a high-profile strike, this tentative agreement marks a victory in the face of government intervention in labour negotiations. 

Represented by the Canadian Union of Public Employees, flight attendants began a strike on August 16, the same day the employer initiated a lock-out. Negotiations had been ongoing since December 2024, with the parties being sent to conciliation and still not reaching a deal. 

CUPE made headlines when its membership decided to defy a back-to-work order issued by the Canada Industrial Relations Board. The order was delivered after Minister of Jobs and Families Patty Hadju invoked section 107 of the Canada Labour code which allows the Minister of Labour to take actions they believe would be likely to “secure industrial peace.”
