A potential strike looms as contract talks continue between Air Canada and the union representing 10,000 of its flight attendants. Here's what you need to know if you're planning to fly Air Canada.

In a response letter from the union dated August 12 and obtained by The Globe, Wesley Lesosky, president of the Air Canada Component of CUPE declined the proposal to proceed to binding arbitration, calling it “not an appropriate path in this round of bargaining.” He urged Air Canada to continue to negotiate at the bargaining table.
