A federal arbitrator has sided with Air Canada in its labour dispute with the union representing its pilots.
Douglas Stanley selected Air Canada's final offer — a five-year collective agreement effective until April 2016 — following negotiations with the Air Canada Pilots Association that took place over a 19-month period
This from same 2012 CBC article:
The airline was poised to lock out the pilots earlier this year, but the move was short-circuited by the federal government, which passed legislation blocking either side from initiating job action and imposing a new contract.
