OTTAWA – Air Canada flight attendants on Saturday overwhelmingly voted against the airline’s wage offer, their union said.<\/p>\n

According to the Canadian Union of Public Employees, 99.1 percent of members rejected a tentative agreement which offers a 12 percent salary increase for most junior flight attendants and an 8 percent bump for more senior members.<\/p>\n

Air Canada<\/a> said in a separate statement that both sides had agreed to refer the wage issue to mediation if the tentative deal was rejected, and to arbitration if mediation failed.<\/p>\n

The parties also agreed that no labor disruption could be initiated, and therefore there will be no strike or lockout, and flights will continue to operate.<\/p>\n

The three-day flight attendants’ strike ended on Aug 19. The airline estimated in August that the strike led to the cancellation of flights for 500,000 customers.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"An Air Canada flight attendant walks through the terminal to their scheduled flight as Air Canada flights are…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":126422,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[23684,32108,49,48,33910,44,69537,34168,69536],"class_list":{"0":"post-126421","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-canada","8":"tag-air-canada","9":"tag-airline","10":"tag-ca","11":"tag-canada","12":"tag-flight-attendants","13":"tag-news","14":"tag-rejected","15":"tag-strike","16":"tag-wage-offer"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/126421","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=126421"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/126421\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/126422"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=126421"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=126421"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=126421"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
