WestJet Flight Attendants Strike Over Pay, Affecting Thousands
Flight attendants at Canada's WestJet airline went on strike after union talks failed, leading to the cancellation of 309 flights. The strike impacted approximately 250,000 travelers. The Canadian Union of Public Employees, representing 4,400 flight attendants, announced the strike. WestJet is majority-owned by Onex Corp. The airline began parking Boeing 737 jets in anticipation of the strike. A tentative deal was later reached, ending the brief strike.
