NewzFlight attendants at WestJet, Canada’s second-largest airline, initiated a strike on Sunday following a breakdown in labor negotiations. The work stoppage involves 4,400 cabin crew members represented by the Canadian Union of Public Employees. The airline has responded by canceling trips as the labor dispute continues.
The primary points of contention center on compensation, with the union seeking improved wages and pay for previously uncompensated work. The strike was officially announced by the union via social media as talks between the two parties failed to reach an agreement.
