Negotiators said they struck the tentative deal on August 19 to end a crippling four-day strike, after more than 10,000 flight attendants defied government efforts to return them to work and forced the country's largest carrier back to the bargaining table.
The result of the vote will not be known until after 3 p.m. (1900 GMT) on Saturday, the union added.
Sara Nelson, International President of the Association of Flight Attendants, told Reuters that public support for the Air Canada strike also helps her U.S. members. The AFA represents United's flight attendants, who recently rejected a tentative agreement partly over demands for ground pay.
Disappointment over deal
The proposed four-year deal would add up to roughly a 20% wage hike for entry-level attendants and 16% for more experienced cabin crew.
Flight attendants told Reuters that the raises do not cover their increased cost of living, particularly in high-cost cities such as Toronto, with many doing two or three jobs to get by.
“My understanding was the next day, if there was no deal, they would have gone to the courts and sought criminal contempt, then charges and fines,“ Hancock told Reuters. “It would have risen to the next level.” - REUTERS
