Company agreed to present recommendation of federal mediator to members
The Canadian Union of Public Employees says the Montreal-based company agreed late Monday to present the recommendation of a federal mediator to its members for ratification.
No details of the recommendations will be released until after the 1,750 flight attendants vote on the agreement.
Union president Martyn Smith had previously said the company wanted to substantially increase employee workloads. Air Transat declined to comment on the union's assertion.
The flight attendants earlier voted 93.2 per cent against a tentative settlement reached on June 6, just days after they voted in favour of a strike mandate.
A spokeswoman for the Air Transat Component of CUPE said the workers had planned to strike if no deal was reached by Friday at 11:59 p.m. ET.
