WestJet Flight Attendants Vote on Strike | Winnipeg News

WestJet flight attendants, representing 4,400 workers nationwide, are poised to strike as they vote on a contract dispute — demanding pay for crucial ground hours like boarding and pre-flight checks, which they say total 35 unpaid hours monthly. With no deal since last year and talks stalled since September, a strike could hit as early as August 2, potentially disrupting summer travel. While WestJet claims competitive pay and commitment to fairness, union leaders hope public support — and federal mediators — can avert disruption. This mirrors last summer’s Air Canada strike, and travelers may soon feel the impact if negotiations fail. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
