Air Canada’s flight attendants reject the new contract, will strike on October 13

Air Canada (Montreal) is facing a strike by its flight attendants who rejected the latest contract offer.

The company issued the following statement:

“Air Canada has been advised by CUPE, the union representing the airline’s 6,800 flight attendants, that the new tentative agreement reached by the Company and the union’s negotiating committee on September 20, 2011 was not ratified by the union membership. Subsequently, Air Canada has been given a strike notice by CUPE confirming the union’s intention to begin a strike at 00:01 a.m. ET Thursday October 13, 2011. In the interim, Air Canada’s operations are not affected and the airline will continue to operate its normal schedule.”
