WestJet flight attendants could strike as early as Sunday
A 72-hour strike notice from the union representing WestJet flight attendants sets up a possible service disruption at the Calgary-based airline within days.
Why it matters
A WestJet strike could disrupt air travel for passengers across Canada, with Calgary as the airline's home base.
The union representing WestJet flight attendants has served the airline a 72-hour strike notice, meaning a walkout could begin as early as this Sunday if no resolution is reached before then. WestJet is headquartered in Calgary, and any strike would affect its flight operations nationally.
The strike notice was included in a Canadian Press national news roundup that also referenced a Calgary boy who was found dead, though further details on that case were not provided in the available material.
The same roundup noted ongoing wildfire damage assessments in British Columbia, without specifying figures or locations tied to Alberta.
