WestJet flight attendants secure 18% wage hike after one-day strike
A brief walkout by WestJet cabin crews has led to a new contract with pay increases exceeding 18 per cent over three years.
Why it matters
The settlement affects one of Canada's major airlines and could influence labour negotiations across the aviation industry.
WestJet flight attendants have secured a new labour agreement that includes a wage increase of more than 18 per cent spread over three years, following a one-day strike.
The deal also introduces new compensation for duties that WestJet had not previously paid for, addressing longstanding complaints from cabin crew about unpaid work.
The agreement marks the resolution of a labour dispute that briefly disrupted operations at the Calgary-based airline when flight attendants walked off the job for a single day.
