Canadian air workers back after walkout
Canadian air traffic controllers returned to work under new government end to a four day strike. Air Canada planned up to 40 percent of its flights daily and CP Air expected normal operations by Thursday. The walkout cost airlines 4 to 7 million dollars daily, with total losses potentially reaching 20 million. MPs were recalled to back emergency legislation, which imposed the wage proposal and ended the stoppage. Some disruption persisted at Toronto Pearson as controllers ignored supervisor calls.
