Air Canada flight attendants to return to bargaining table on Friday, union says
August 6, 2025
Air Canada flight attendants are heading back to the bargaining table on Friday, after overwhelmingly approving a strike mandate this week that could allow them to walk off the job as early as Aug. 16, their union and the carrier said on Wednesday.
The Canadian Union of Public Employees, which represents more than 10,000 flight attendants at the country’s largest carrier, would need to give 72 hours notice before initiating any strike. Both sides have said they prefer resolving flight attendants’ demands for higher pay through a negotiated settlement.

The federal government’s decision to lift most retaliatory tariffs on American goods is expected to deliver some relief to consumers, although experts watching the trade war say the “buy Canada” movement may continue to limit demand for U.S. products. Prime Minister Mark Carney announced on Friday that Ottawa will mirror U.S. tariffs by only imposing them on goods that are not compliant with the United States-Mexico-Canada trade agreement, which he said was designed to reset trade negotiations with President Donald Trump. The change will take effect on Sept. 1.
