The hiring can't come fast enough as a rebound in travel and badly-needed airline revenue this summer is being weighed by congestion, rising costs and labor strife, after a two-year pandemic vacuum. Air Canada said late on Wednesday it would cut flights in July and August to reduce passenger flows to a level that the air transport system can accommodate. The International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers (IAMAW), which represents ground handlers, including baggage and cargo handlers, for Air Canada among other carriers, said some Canadian workers are being offered raises and double pay to work beyond eight-hour shifts, a union official said.

When he opened his first account in 2020, he had to visit the brokerage, but this year he opened a new account online. People like Dung are partially the reason why the number of new stock accounts has been skyrocketing despite a decline in trading. Over 476,000 new accounts were registered in May, the highest ever monthly figure in the stock market’s two-decade history, according to the Vietnam Securities Depository.
