Air Canada flight attendants are continuing their strike despite a back-to-work order issued by the Canadian government. The strike has disrupted the airline's operations and led to the suspension of its profit forecast. The labor board declared the strike illegal, but the union representing the flight attendants has chosen to defy the order, citing unresolved issues related to pay and working conditions.
The ongoing strike has affected numerous flights, causing delays and cancellations, and impacting thousands of passengers. Air Canada has been working to minimize disruptions by rebooking passengers on alternative flights and offering refunds where necessary. However, the situation remains challenging as the strike continues.
The Canadian government is urging both parties to return to the negotiating table to resolve the dispute. Meanwhile, Air Canada has not provided a timeline for when normal operations might resume. The airline's shares have been affected by the strike, reflecting investor concerns over the potential financial impact.
