WestJet has announced it will cancel hundreds of flights as the deadline for a potential strike approaches, according to local media. The airline began its first round of cancellations ahead of the Sunday deadline, affecting travelers planning to take advantage of the long weekend. The move has left some passengers anxious about their travel plans, with reports indicating uncertainty over whether the strike will proceed.
The airline has not yet confirmed the exact number of flights affected, but early indications suggest a significant disruption to its schedule. Travelers are being advised to check for updates and consider alternative travel arrangements. The situation comes amid ongoing labor negotiations, with union representatives and management yet to reach an agreement on key issues such as wages and working conditions.
Sources indicate that the strike could impact thousands of workers, potentially leading to widespread service disruptions. While the airline has not issued a formal statement confirming the strike, the cancellations suggest a possible escalation in the labor dispute. Further developments are expected as the deadline nears, with both sides remaining in talks. (toronto.citynews.ca)
