🚨 STRIKE NOTICE ISSUED 🚨

Tonight, the WestJet Mainline Bargaining Committee formally issued strike notice after negotiations remained too far apart on several key issues.

This does not mean bargaining has ended. Discussions will continue as both parties work toward reaching a fair agreement that recognizes the professionalism, responsibilities, and value of WestJet Cabin Crew.

Under the Canada Labour Code, the earliest possible strike action would be August 2 at 00:01 MT.

We remain united, informed, and committed to achieving the contract our members deserve.

🚨 AVIS DE GRÈVE ÉMIS 🚨

Ce soir, le comité de négociation de la ligne principale de WestJet a officiellement émis un avis de grève, les positions des parties restant trop éloignées sur plusieurs enjeux clés.

Cela ne signifie pas pour autant que les négociations sont terminées. Les discussions se poursuivront, les deux parties s’efforçant de parvenir à une entente équitable qui reconnaisse le professionnalisme, les responsabilités et la valeur du personnel de cabine de WestJet.

En vertu du Code du travail du Canada, la grève pourrait débuter au plus tôt le 2 août à 00 h 01, MT.

Nous restons unis, informés et déterminés à obtenir la convention collective que nos membres méritent.
