WestJet and the union representing its flight attendants have reached a tentative agreement to end the strike, according to a report from edmontonjournal.com. The agreement comes after several weeks of negotiations and is expected to resolve the labor dispute affecting the airline’s operations.
The strike, which began in late September, impacted hundreds of flights and caused significant disruptions for passengers and staff. The tentative agreement includes terms related to wages, working conditions, and benefits, though details have not been fully released. The union, represented by the Canadian Airline Pilots Association, had previously expressed concerns over job security and fair compensation.
Both parties have expressed optimism about the agreement, though final approval is still required. The resolution marks a potential turning point for the airline, which has faced challenges in maintaining consistent service during the labor action. Further details are expected as the agreement moves forward for ratification.
