More than 10,000 Air Canada flight attendants who went on strike early Saturday will be ordered to return to work by the Canada Industrial Relations Board (CIRB), according to an announcement Saturday by Canadian Jobs Minister Patty Hajdu.

The announcement comes after Air Canada, the country’s largest airline, suspended all operations following the strike.

At a news conference in Ottawa, Hajdu said she directed the CIRB to order Air Canada and its employees to “resume and continue their operations and duties in order to secure industrial peace and protect the interests of Canada, Canadians and the economy.”
