Air Canada union engages in strike activity, in Richmond

(Reuters) -Air Canada's unionized flight attendants reached an agreement with the country's largest carrier, the union said on Tuesday.

Flight attendants had pushed to be paid for tasks such as boarding passengers, which are currently not remunerated. They are now paid for time when the plane is moving.

The Canadian Union of Public Employees, which represents Air Canada's 10,400 flight attendants, wanted to make gains on unpaid work that go beyond recent advances secured by their counterparts at U.S. carriers like American Airlines.

The agreement provides some relief for the carrier, which cancelled hundreds of flights.
