WestJet's flight attendants, represented by the SCFP union, threatened to strike during the busy summer season. They had filed a 72-hour strike notice, citing disagreements on key issues. However, both the airline and the union worked to resolve the dispute. They reached a tentative agreement before the strike could begin, avoiding major travel disruptions. The deal, announced on a Monday, ends the work stoppage and will now be voted on by union members. This agreement is seen as a positive outcome, acknowledging the staff's efforts.
