Air Canada flight attendants reject wage offer: Reuters | Labour Rights News

Canada’s biggest air carrier offered a 12 percent wage hike for those with five years on the job or less, and 8 percent for those with more than six.

Reuters withdrew this story after it was published stating that a union spokesperson clarified that the statement the story is based on was published in error. 

Air Canada’s flight attendants and its regional unit have voted against ratifying the carrier’s wage offer.

Air Canada had proposed a 12 percent first-year wage hike for Rouge flight attendants and mainline staff with five years of service or less, and an 8 percent increase for those with six years or more, the union said.
