Air Canada announced early Sunday that it planned to resume flights in the evening, but just hours later, the union representing more than 10,000 flight attendants said in a statement that its members would remain on strike, defying the back-to-work order handed down by the CIRB.

CUPE has accused the Liberal government of "rewarding Air Canada's refusal to negotiate fairly by giving them exactly what they wanted."

Unifor files a notice of dispute against Canadian National Railway (www.reuters.com)

Canadian National Railway said on Friday that labor union Unifor has filed a notice of dispute to the Canadian Minister of Labor, just three days after initiating negotiations.

Also known as "conciliation", the notice of dispute can be sent by either party to the Canadian Minister of Labor during a negotiation and typically results in the appointment of a conciliation officer to assist the parties in reaching an agreement.
