The union for 10,000 striking Air Canada flight attendants said on Monday they won’t return to work even though the strike, now in its third day, has been declared illegal. The job action at Canada’s largest airline is affecting about 130,000 travelers a day at the peak of the summer travel season.

The battle between Air Canada and its flight attendants – which has boiled over into an illegal strike, stranding travellers and grounding planes – includes a fight over unpaid work that could set a precedent for other major carriers in Canada and around the world, experts say.

A key demand of the Canadian Union of Public Employees (CUPE), which represents 10,400 flight attendants with Air Canada and its subsidiary Air Canada Rouge, is compensation for what is called “ground time.”
