WestJet Flight Attendants Issue 72-Hour Strike Warning

WestJet flight attendants have issued a strike warning, setting a deadline of 72 hours for negotiations to conclude successfully. This action follows WestJet’s announcement of a lockout notice delivered on Thursday, escalating tensions between the carrier and its unionized workforce. The union is seeking improved wages and benefits, citing concerns about compensation relative to other Canadian airlines. WestJet maintains its position that it will not negotiate while employees are subject to a lockout. Representatives from both sides remain in discussions attempting to reach an agreement before the impending strike deadline.
