‘We sleep in the airport’: Air Canada flight attendants strike enters fourth day with no deal in sight

AI Summary

Air Canada flight attendants continued their strike for a fourth day, disrupting travel for hundreds of thousands of passengers. Although talks have resumed between the union (CUPE) and Air Canada, the union is defying a labor board order to return to work. The key issues are wages and pay for ground duties like boarding. The union claims Air Canada's offer of a 38% compensation increase is misleading, representing only a 17.2% wage increase over four years. The Canadian government is urging both sides to accept mediation.
