WestJet Flight Attendants Go on Strike | Ottawa News

Published 4 weeks ago
Description

WestJet flight attendants — over 4,000 strong — have gone on strike after failing to agree on a new contract, halting all WestJet flights (though WestJet Encore routes continue). The crew is demanding fair pay for ground time, inflation-adjusted wages, better scheduling and fatigue protections, and compensation that reflects their critical safety role. Ottawa’s airport sees 8-9 daily cancellations, but travelers can still reach destinations via other airlines. Passengers brace for travel disruptions as both sides hope to resolve this quickly.
