Aug. 18 (UPI) -- Air Canada flight attendants continued their strike Monday after an order to return to work by the Canadian government.
A hearing on Sunday by the Canada Industrial Relations Board declared the strike by Air Canada's 10,000 flight attendants unlawful, and it ordered the leadership of the Canadian Union of Public Employees to tell its members to return to work by noon Monday.
"The members of the union's bargaining unit are directed to resume the performance of their duties immediately and to refrain from engaging in unlawful strike activities," the directive, signed by Jennifer Webster, vice-chairperson of the CIRB, said.
The union has defied the order.
