WestJet has canceled 81 flights as the Sunday strike deadline approaches, according to a report from Yahoo News. The airline is currently in negotiations with union representatives to reach a new contract agreement before the deadline. The dispute centers on issues such as hourly wages and ground pay.
The cancellation affects travelers across multiple routes, with some flights being rescheduled or removed entirely. Passengers are advised to check for updates on their travel plans. The union has not yet announced whether it will proceed with the strike as planned.
WestJet has not provided a specific timeline for when the affected flights may resume. The airline has emphasized its commitment to resolving the situation through dialogue. The outcome of these negotiations will determine whether the strike will go ahead or if an agreement can be reached.
The situation highlights the ongoing labor tensions within the airline industry, with workers seeking better compensation and working conditions. The impact of the potential strike could be significant for both the airline and its customers. (Yahoo News)
