WestJet Flight Attendants Vote to Strike | Calgary News

WestJet flight attendants are gearing up for a potential strike, launching a vote that runs through July 15, 2026 — with the earliest possible walkout set for August 2, 2026. The union, CUPE, claims attendants are working 35 unpaid hours a month, highlighting a growing disconnect between the critical safety role they play and their compensation. This mirrors Air Canada’s recent strike, underscoring a broader industry issue. The vote is a show of solidarity and bargaining leverage, not a guaranteed strike — but it signals the union’s serious intent to secure a fair deal that reflects the true value of their work. Results will be known by July 15, 2026. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
