MONTREAL — The Canadian Union of Public Employees says a strike by 10,000 flight attendants at Air Canada will continue, defying an order from the Canada Industrial Relations Board that it end by noon today.

The board had declared the strike unlawful after the federal government on Saturday used Section 107 of the Labour Code to force the two sides into binding arbitration.
