(Reuters) – Air Canada strike on -board agents concluded an agreement with the largest carrier in the country, the Canadian Public Service Syndicate (SCFP) announced on Tuesday, ending a four -day mobilization that forced the group to withdraw its annual profit prospects.
“The strike is over. We have an agreement in principle that we will present to you,” said the SFCP, which represents 10,400 on -board agents, in a message published on Facebook.
Air Canada said that some flights would be canceled over the next seven days, until the calendar is stabilized, and customers whose flights have been canceled can choose between a refund, a travel credit or a new reservation on another airline.
“The third quarter of Air Canada has just ended with hundreds of canceled flights that could take up to 10 days to be caught,” said Michael Schulman, director of investments at Running Point Capital.
Air Canada had previously offered a 38% increase in overall compensation over four years, with an increase of 25% in the first year, an offer that the union had however deemed insufficient.
In addition to wage increases, on -board agents requested compensation for unpaid ground work.
The agreement brings a certain relief to the carrier, who canceled hundreds of flights because of the strike.
Air Canada and its low -cost subsidiary Air Canada Rouge usually transport around 130,000 customers per day. Air Canada is also the foreign carrier who provides the greatest number of flights to the United States.
