The brief but notable Air Canada flight attendant strike, with 99.7 voting in favor, began on August 16th and lasted only 3 days. The flight industry, being a high value, time sensitive and logistically demanding operation, was uniquely vulnerable to pressure from just a portion of its workforce striking. Even with these advantages, the strike was unable to sustain itself for very long and was, like so many other strikes, declared illegal and forced into arbitration against the will of 99.1 percent of its union membership who voted against the offers and in support of the continued strike.
