- Air Canada typically carries 130,000 passengers daily; the airline postponed its planned restart from Sunday until Monday evening.
- CUPE rejected the Canada Industrial Relations Board order to end the strike and enter binding arbitration.
- Flight attendants seek higher wages and pay for ground duties such as boarding; their current pay begins only when aircraft are moving.
- The government could seek court enforcement or legislation, requiring rival-party support and approval from both parliamentary chambers, which are on recess until September 15.
“The government will be very reticent to be too heavy-handed because in Canada the Supreme Court has ruled that governments have to be very careful when they take away the right to strike, even for public sector workers that may be deemed essential.”— Dionne Pohler, professor of dispute resolution at Cornell University's School of Industrial and Labor Relations, on the legal limits of government intervention in the strike.
