Jazz Aviation says its negotiations with a union representing more than 1,000 of its flight attendants have reached an impasse.
The Halifax-based airline, which operates flights under the Air Canada Express brand, says it will seek a conciliation officer as part of the collective bargaining process.
Jazz Aviation’s update comes a day after the Canadian Flight Attendants Union said 99 per cent of voting members cast ballots in favour of a strike mandate.
Union president Marsha Walters has said they want members fairly compensated for the work they do.
The flight attendants have been without a contract since Jan. 1.
The union did not immediately comment on the impasse on Saturday.
