The contract dialogue as a possible strike represents its 10,000 flight attendants between Air Canada and the Union.
The conversation this week may be concerned about their upcoming flights for summer passengers.
What should be known before taking you away here:
Will there be a strike?
It is too early to say this. The Air Canada component of the Canadian Association’s public employees received a strong strike mandate from its membership after the closure of last week, with 99.7 percent of the side.
But, this does not mean that there will be a strike. The airline reduced the mandate, calling it a “normal step in the dialogue process” – essentially a tool that gives the union more profit in contract negotiations.
The Sangh has also said that it is optimistic that it can avoid an interruption. The two sides returned to the bargaining table on Friday in the hope of resolving Ibsley.
When will the strike take place?
First of all, flight attendants can potentially run from the job, on Saturday at 12:01 pm ET.
This time limit is officially terminated after a compulsory 21-day “cooling of” period.
The strike mandate is effective for 60 days.
When will we know what is the strike?
If it intends to strike, the Sangh will have to provide a 72-hour notice.
This means that it can give a notice of stagnation on ET at 12:01 pm on Wednesday if they intend to go on strike on Saturday.
Air Canada says it will keep passengers updated on possible disruption through email and text messages.
Will all flights be canceled?
Air Canada has stated that in case of strike it is “prematurely to speculate or discuss the possible contingencies”.
If there is a strike, it will affect the main operation of Air Canada and air Canada Roose.
Flight attendants working for Jazz and Pal, which operate Air Canada Express flights, are not part of the talks.
How will I find out in any way?
Air Canada has asked to stay for updates this week.
While flights are still working as determined, it says online that this change should happen, it will inform customers via email and text message before their visit.
For the travelers whose journey programs change the middle-jorni, Air Canada says that it will “actively find out all the options to travel, including a rebooking with other airlines on your behalf.”
“If you have not received any email or text message information, this is because your journey program is not affected,” it says.
“If you have booked your own journey and you want to make sure that you do not miss a notification, take time to check your junk email folder and your mobile provider’s message settings.”
The airline is also posting a statement on its website about the developments in the conversation process.
