The extra interesting part. Although the article pretty short.

Air Canada flight attendants on Saturday overwhelmingly voted against the airline's latest wage offer, their union said — a vote that's expected to have no impact on flight operations.

The tentative deal, which ended a strike at the airline last month, includes a 12 per cent salary increase this year for most junior flight attendants and an eight per cent bump for more senior members, followed by smaller raises in subsequent years.

The Canadian Union of Public Employees (CUPE) said in a statement that 99.1 per cent of members rejected the proposal, arguing flight attendants would still earn less than federal minimum wage.

"The parties also agreed that no labour disruption could be initiated, and therefore there will be no strike or lockout, and flights will continue to operate," the airline said.

Sounds like they're just going back to the table rather than doing another strike vote. Not uncommon for negotiations.

Sounds like a grace period. However, the union should still threaten to strike if they drag this out otherwise Air Canada is going to do the typical lip service move and see how long they can 'flip the narrative' to their advantage.

Honestly, I’m not surprised by the vote. Flight attendants have such a demanding job, dealing with long hours, irregular schedules, and a lot of stress from passengers. If the wage offer doesn’t reflect that, it makes sense they’d push back. At the end of the day, fair pay is key to keeping staff motivated and ensuring safety for passengers too.
