Air Canada strike as early as Monday

In further strike news, Air Canada customer service and sales workers could go on strike as early as Monday.

About four hundred workers and labour rights activists rallied at Toronto Pearson airport Thursday. They say they will walk off the job if the company does not budge on key concessions.

The key issue is a proposal to change pension plans. The Canadian Auto Workers Union says Air Canada is creating a two-tiered workforce by cutting pensions.

The union and Air Canada are currently in negotiations. They have been in talks for ten weeks. Should there be a strike, workers say travelers will not be affected.
