Canadian air strike drags on as Parliament reconvenes
Ottawa called back Parliament to debate a bill ending a nationwide walkout by Canadian air traffic controllers stranding thousands of travelers and costing airlines millions daily. Transport Minister Otto Lang rejected CATCA's final offer and pledged a compromise bill. CATCA urged strikers to obey a back‑to‑work order, while warning they would stay off the job where legal. Airlines faced $5 million daily losses. Air Canada reduced operations to about one-tenth of normal. CATCA sought a 12.6 percent wage rise. interim pay offers ranged around 7.43 percent, with AIB authority looming. Parliament returned to push the measure forward.
