Air Canada and Union Resume Talks Amid Illegal Strike. Air Canada and the union representing 10,000 striking flight attendants have returned to the table for the first time in nearly a week despite the Canada Industrial Relations Board ruling the strike unlawful. Talks are taking place in Toronto, but the strike continues, disrupting flights for hundreds of thousands of travelers during peak tourist season. The airline has defended its offer of a 38% pay increase, but acknowledged a wide gap with the union's demands, particularly over unpaid ground duties like boarding passengers. Labor Minister Patty Hajdu has launched a probe into allegations of unpaid work and is pushing for binding arbitration to end the dispute. Meanwhile, union leaders say they are prepared to risk jail time rather than return to work without a fair deal. With flights grounded and shares falling, pressure is mounting on both sides to resolve the standoff quickly.
