WestJet flight attendants reach tentative agreement

The union representing 4,400 flight attendants at WestJet have reached a tentative agreement on Monday, ending operational disruptions.

This comes after thousands of WestJet passengers were scrambling on Sunday to make new travel plans after the airline’s flight attendants officially went on strike.

Flights were cancelled across the country including at Toronto Pearson after last-minute contract talks failed to produce a deal.

Union members walked off the job to demand higher pay, fairer schedules and an improved work-life balance.

Now, this tentative agreement brings an end to the work stoppage and network-wide operational disruption, with both the strike and lockout notices being withdrawn.

The tentative deal is subject to a ratification vote by WestJet cabin crew.
