Air Canada pilots vote in favour of a strike mandate
Posted by news | Filed under All News Stories, Business
Air Canada pilots have voted overwhelmingly in favour of a strike mandate. However, planes are expected to remain in the air, as the pilots’ union says there’ll be no job action as long as mediated talks continue. Federal Labour Minister Lisa Raitt kicked-off six months of talks this week. One thing the issue is taking up in the talks is Air Canada’s plan to launch an international carrier, whose pilots would earn less than those flying for the main airline.
