Federal Jobs Minister Patty Hajdu has asked the union representing Air Canada’s flight attendants to respond to the airline’s request for binding arbitration—days before the airline could issue a complete stoppage of flights.

Hajdu says Air Canada submitted a request that she refer the two parties to binding arbitration under Section 107 of the Canada Labour Code.
