Air Canada called off plans to resume flights Sunday as its striking flight attendants announced they will defy a government-issued return-to-work order.
The carrier, Canada’s largest, initially signaled it would restart operations Sunday afternoon after the Canadian Industrial Relations Board directed its roughly 10,000 flight attendants to abandon their strike and return to work. But the Canadian Union of Public Employees, which represents the flight attendants, said it will not comply as long as members’ demands for higher wages remain unmet.
