Air Canada and its flight attendants avoid a strike, agree to arbitration

Air Canada (Montreal) has issued the following statement:

“Following the federal Minister of Labour’s referral to the Canada Industrial Relations Board of the dispute between Air Canada and the Canadian Union of Public Employees, representing the airline’s 6,800 flight attendants, Air Canada confirmed that both parties have achieved an agreement on a final and binding process to resolve the impasse under Section 79 of the Canada Labour Code.

Under the terms of the agreement, both parties will submit outstanding issues to a process with the final and binding decision to be issued by no later than November 7, 2011. By agreeing to this process, the parties are also bound by the Labour Code requirement that no strike or lockouts may occur.”
