WestJet

WestJet, Canada's second-largest airline, recently experienced a strike by its flight attendants, represented by the Canadian Union of Public Employees. The dispute primarily centered on pay, leading to the cancellation of over 300 flights and disrupting travel plans for many Canadians, particularly during a busy travel period. This action followed earlier threats of a strike by the same union, which had issued a 72-hour strike notice over issues including unpaid work. The strike highlights ongoing labor negotiations and their potential impact on airline operations and passenger services within Canada's travel industry.
