Good morning. Air Canada flight attendants have reached a tentative agreement with the airline to end their strike – more on that below, along with the continued risk of wildfires and Cambridge Dictionary’s nod to Gen Z. But first:

After a night spent bargaining with the help of a federal mediator, the Canadian Union of Public Employees announced early this morning that they’ve reached a tentative agreement with Air Canada to send its 10,000 flight attendants back to work. “The strike has ended,” CUPE posted online. The airline said it would begin resuming operations this evening, and that the return to regular service could take up to 10 days.

The latest: Those nighttime talks were the first to take place since Friday, a day before the flight attendants went on strike. They had stayed out on the picket line yesterday, even after the federal labour relations board declared their strike illegal and ordered CUPE to send them back to work.

As that noon deadline flew past, CUPE national president Mark Hancock insisted there was “no limit” to how long his members would keep defying federal orders in this dispute over wages and unpaid labour. Last night, Patty Hajdu, the federal Jobs Minister, posted on social media that she would launch a probe into allegations of unpaid work in the airline sector. She included a hashtag often used by the union: #UnpaidWorkWontFly.

The work: Currently, Air Canada flight attendants are paid an hourly wage for the time planes are up in the air – not for all the work that occurs during boarding, or deplaning, or increasingly frequent (and increasingly lengthy) flight delays. A key CUPE demand is compensation for this work, known as “ground time,” which the union says averages out to 35 hours of free labour each month. Although Porter and Delta airlines have started to pay their flight attendants for a part of that ground time, the practice remains widespread in the industry.

The law: Hours after Air Canada flight attendants walked out early Saturday morning, Hajdu used a contentious piece of labour law to intervene in the strike. Section 107 of the Canadian Labour Code gives the federal government unilateral power to order binding arbitration and end work stoppages in the interest of securing “industrial peace.” It’s the fourth time in the past year that Section 107 has been invoked – but it’s the first time a union refused to comply. (Canada’s railway, port and postal workers all returned to their jobs right after the orders.) That puts Ottawa in a bind, Alison Braley-Rattai, a professor of labour studies at Brock University, told The Globe: “What do they want to be seen doing to this group of flight attendants who are not being paid for work they do, 70 per cent of whom are women?”

The word from Ottawa: Prime Minister Mark Carney said yesterday that it’s important Air Canada flight attendants are compensated “equitably at all times” – and that his government was compelled to impose binding arbitration on them to end the dispute. “It was the judgment of both the union and the company that they were at an impasse. That’s not my judgment. It’s their judgment,” Carney told reporters in advance of a meeting with Ontario Premier Doug Ford.

Nearly 200 summer campers from across the country stuck in Squamish, B.C. The Globe spoke with a few of the estimated 500,000 passengers whose flights have been cancelled during the strike.

Upended: There are some options for would-be travellers whose Air Canada plans are still in limbo from the strike. Here’s what you need to know whether you’re still at home or stranded abroad – and if your trip hasn’t yet been cancelled, try to resist the temptation to pre-emptively change your flight.

At home: As Canada continues to experience dry and hot conditions, federal officials expect higher wildfire risks across much of the country until the end of September.
