07:14 AM EDT, 08/11/2025 (MT Newswires) -- Air Canada ( ACDVF ) flight attendants, represented by the Canadian Union of Public Employees (CUPE), over the weekend said they will hold a simultaneous action on Monday at airports in Montreal, Toronto, Vancouver, and Calgary at 1 pm ET to protest working conditions.

CUPE and the airline have been negotiating a contract after the previous 10-year one expired in March. Flight attendants are asking Air Canada ( ACDVF ) to recognize the key elements of the negotiation, including non-working hours and poverty wages that they say are "not consistent with the economic reality of 2025."

Members have voted 99.7% in favor of a strike mandate.

If an agreement isn't reached, the earliest the flight attendants could walk off the job is 12:01 ET on Aug. 16.
