Prime Minister Justin Trudeau says it香蕉视频直播檚 up to Air Canada and the union to reach an agreement to avoid disrupting travellers and businesses.
Speaking at an event in Sainte-Anne-de-Bellevue, Que., on Friday, Trudeau said he wouldn香蕉视频直播檛 tip the scales toward either party.
香蕉视频直播淚 know every time there香蕉视频直播檚 a strike, people say, 香蕉视频直播極h, you香蕉视频直播檒l get the government to come in and fix it.香蕉视频直播 We香蕉视频直播檙e not going to do that,香蕉视频直播 said Trudeau.
香蕉视频直播淲e have and we will protect the Canadian economy. But first and foremost is putting all the pressure on the people who need to feel that pressure 香蕉视频直播 unions and the employers.香蕉视频直播
He said the government won香蕉视频直播檛 intervene unless it becomes clear that no negotiated agreement is possible.
The airline and pilots will be in a position starting Sunday to issue 72-hour notice of a strike or lockout. The airline has said the notice would trigger its three-day wind-down plan and start the clock on a full work stoppage that could come as early as Sept. 18.
The airline香蕉视频直播檚 cargo service has already stopped accepting some items such as perishables, but says so far it hasn香蕉视频直播檛 had to cancel any flights because of the labour negotiations.
Numerous business groups have called on the government to intervene in the matter, including the Canadian Federation of Independent Business and the Canadian and U.S. Chambers of Commerce.
Negotiations are mostly stuck on the question of pay.
The airline says the union is being inflexible with 香蕉视频直播渦nreasonable wage demands.香蕉视频直播
The union has said it is corporate greed that香蕉视频直播檚 holding up talks, as Air Canada continues to post record profits while expecting pilots to accept below-market compensation.
The two sides are continuing to meet Friday in an attempt to reach a deal.
