The Canada Industrial Relations Board ordered airline staff back to work by 2 p.m. Sunday after the government intervened and Air Canada said it planned to resume flights Sunday evening.

#Canada's largest #airline now says it will resume flights Monday evening. #AirCanada said in a statement that the union "illegally directed its flight attendant members to defy a direction from the Canadian Industrial Relations Board."

"Our members are not going back to work," #CanadianUnionOfPublicEmployees national president Mark Hancock said outside Toronto's Pearson International Airport. "We are saying no."
