Air Canada flight attendants defy back-to-work order, to continue ‘unlawful’ strike

While Air Canada has not responded to the union’s action yet, the trade organisation that represents the airline condemned the defiance of the back-to-work order, saying they “are normalising the idea that if you don’t like a decision, you can simply ignore it”

Air Canada employees and union members protest outside the Air Canada headquarters in Montreal, Sunday, Aug. 17, 2025, after the federal government intervened in the labour dispute between the airline and the union representing its flight attendants, ordering binding arbitration and operations to resume.
