WestJet ends strike after tentative deal restructures cabin crew pay
WestJet and the Canadian Union of Public Employees reached a tentative agreement on Monday, ending a strike that began Sunday and canceled 615 flights. The deal, which requires ratification by 4,400 attendants, shifts compensation from flight-time-only to a model covering all work hours, including pre-takeoff duties. This resolution follows a previous strike at Air Canada and reflects broader North American efforts to reform cabin crew pay structures.
