WestJet Flight Attendants End Strike After Tentative Wage Pact
Canada’s CUPE union representing 4,400 WestJet flight attendants reached a tentative wage agreement with the airline, ending a strike that had led to hundreds of canceled flights. Details will be shared with members ahead of a ratification vote; the deal reportedly expands pay to cover time at check-in as well as in-flight work and includes general wage increases. WestJet had canceled about 615 flights through Aug. 4 amid the disruption, and previously offered a 13% raise this year followed by 2.5% annually through 2029 plus additional pay for all hours worked.
