MONTREAL (AP) - Air Canada, the country's largest airline, could face its second work stoppage this year after flight attendants overwhelmingly endorsed a strike that could begin as early as Sept. 21.
The Canadian Union of Public Employees said Tuesday that after a 10-day vote, employees voted 98 percent to back a strike.
Unless a last-minute deal is reached, 6,800 flight attendants could walk off the job next week.
That would mark Air Canada's second labor disruption in three months. About 3,800 customer sales and service representatives represented by the Canadian Auto Workers union held a three-day strike in June.
