Air Canada and its flight attendants' union, CUPE, resumed talks Monday after a weekend strike impacting 130,000 daily travelers. The strike, declared illegal by the Canada Industrial Relations Board, continues despite a return-to-work order. The union, defying the order, seeks better pay and compensation, citing insufficient wage increases in Air Canada's offer. Thousands of flights have been canceled, stranding passengers and causing significant disruption. Negotiations are ongoing, with the airline hoping for a swift resolution.
