Air Canada has announced it will suspend all flights through Tuesday afternoon after flight attendants still defy a federal back-to-work order. The airline’s CEO told CTV News earlier in the day he hoped Air Canada would resume services Tuesday. The Canadian Union of Public Employees (CUPE) has not called off its strike, a move that Air Canada has called illegal. “If it means folks like me going to jail, then so be it,” CUPE’s president said Monday. While Air Canada says it would not negotiate with the union until flight attendants return to work, CUPE says the two sides were in discussions Monday night with a mediator.
