💨 Abstract

Air Canada suspended all operations due to a strike by over 10,000 flight attendants over pay and scheduling disputes. The Canadian government intervened, ordering mandatory arbitration to extend the existing contract until a new agreement is reached. Minister Patty Hajdu stated this action prevents widespread flight cancellations affecting hundreds of thousands. The strike disrupted global travel plans during the summer peak season, impacting about 130,000 customers daily.
