Union activists disrupt Air Canada news conference ahead of planned strike

Air Canada executives were speaking at a press conference on Thursday, August 14 that ended abruptly due to protests by union members donning placards.

Canada's largest carrier said it expects to cancel the majority of its estimated 700 daily flights on Friday, August 15 ahead of a planned Saturday strike by 10,000 unionized flight attendants, leaving some 100,000 passengers scrambling to make alternative travel plans.
