Flight attendants ordered back to work say labour law violates right to strike

The Canadian government has once again used a contentious section of labour law to stop a major strike — a move unions say sets a dangerous precedent for labour relations in this country.

Federal jobs minister Patty Hajdu has invoked Section 107 of the Canada Labour Code to send Air Canada flight attendants back to work, less than 12 hours after they walked off the job.

Section 107 gives the minister unilateral authority to order the end of a work stoppage to "maintain or secure industrial peace."

Heron Road Community Centre to reopen after nearly 2 years as emergency shelter

Community programming will soon resume at the Heron Road Community Centre, nearly two years after the facility began serving as a shelter for the homeless, according to the local councillor.

On Friday, the last people staying there were transitioned to other shelters in the city, including the YMCA and the Queen Street transitional facility that opened last month, Alta Vista Coun. Marty Carr said. "There was a place found for every single one of those residents in a more suitable location than a community centre," Carr told CBC on Saturday.

Air Canada flight attendants to stay on the picket lines after strike deemed illegal

The union representing thousands of striking Air Canada flight attendants says it will risk jail time and fees but will not order its members back to work, despite the federal labour relations board calling the strike illegal.

"We will not be returning to the skies this afternoon," Canadian Union of Public Employees (CUPE) national president Mark Hancock said at a news conference on Monday. "If it means folks like me going to jail, then so be it. If it means our union being fined, then so be it."

Rideau Valley water supply under pressure from hot, dry weather

The Rideau Valley Conservation Authority (RVCA) is urging residents and businesses to reduce water use in a major low water level advisory issued for the watershed.

On Tuesday the conservation authority issued a level three advisory, which means there is a failure of the water supply to meet demand. It is triggered when rainfall deficits fall below 40 per cent of the long-term average. It adds that 22 days with temperatures over 30 C have further contributed to drought impacts.

Air Canada, flight attendants reach tentative deal to end strike

A tentative agreement has been reached to end the contract dispute between Air Canada and its flight attendants, both the airline and the Canadian Union of Public Employees (CUPE) announced Tuesday.

CUPE, which represents more than 10,000 Air Canada flight attendants, said that after nine hours of talks with the assistance of the chief mediator appointed by the federal government, the deal struck will be presented to its membership, who will have an opportunity to ratify it. The union gave few details on the agreement but said it guarantees ground pay for its members — something that's been a major sticking point in talks so far.

Education minister open to eliminating Ontario school trustees

Ontario's education minister says the way schools are governed in the province is "outdated" and that, as he pursues a review, he's open eliminating elected trustees altogether.

Already, Paul Calandra has appointed supervisors who have taken over five of Ontario's  biggest school boards. Trustees have been shut out of their accounts, and those appointees have been tasked with making decisions to improve  boards'  financial situations and avoid deficits.
