CALGARY — Angry Air Canada flight attendants demonstrated outside Prime Minister Stephen Harper’s constituency office in Calgary to denounce the government’s decision to stop strike action.

About fifty Air Canada employees showed up wearing purple to show their solidarity.

Earlier this month, the flight attendants voted to strike but they were barred from walking off the job after Labour Minister Lisa Raitt referred the case to the Canadian Industrial Relations Board.
