Patty Hajdu urged Air Canada and CUPE flight attendants to promptly reach a collective agreement, gave the union a deadline (until Friday at 12 p.m. ET) to respond to the airline's arbitration request, and implored both parties not to waste time.→As Labour Minister, Patty Hajdu invoked Section 107 of the Canada Labour Code and ordered the Canada Industrial Relations Board to intervene, effectively compelling workers to return to work; this demonstrates her support for using statutory intervention to stop strikes and restore service.
