CUPE: Air Canada is missing in action at the bargaining table

TORONTO--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- With 55 hours to go until Air Canada's lockout notice takes effect, the airline has been absent from the bargaining table for nearly a full day.

The union tabled its most recent proposal to Air Canada on August 12 at 9 p.m. ET. The union has been at the bargaining table ever since, waiting for Air Canada to issue their counter-offer. The airline has yet to respond.

Needless to say, a negotiation requires two parties to be present, but Air Canada appears to be missing in action.

With precious hours to spare before Air Canada's lockout notice takes effect on August 16 at 1:30 a.m. ET, Air Canada owes it to their employees, their passengers, and the Canadian public to take this process seriously.

Air Canada should get back to bargaining without delay.
