Underground stations were closed and buses were crammed as commuters grappled with a walkout by transit workers.
Underground stations were closed and buses were crammed with commuters grappling with a walkout by transit workers that is expected to continue until Friday.
A days-long strike on the London Underground over pay and conditions began in earnest on Monday, threatening to upend commuter journeys for most of the week.
But the vote will not lead to a repeat of the walkout that snarled air travel in Canada last month.
Thousands of residents and interns were protesting a government proposal that would have dramatically increased the number of medical students in the country.
The airline planned to restart operations after a strike that disrupted half a million travelers. The agreement would reshape how flight attendants are paid.
Negotiations between the airline and the flight attendants’ union resumed on Monday, hours after a labor relations board declared the walkout illegal.
Passengers on Canada’s largest airline waited to be rebooked or compensated for flight cancellations as the walkout disrupted travel across the country.
The decision by the union representing the 10,000 workers means that travel chaos will continue for at least a second day. Air Canada said it had suspended its reopening plan until Monday evening.
A walkout by flight attendants ended after about 12 hours with the imposition of binding arbitration. But getting travel back to normal will take days.
