WestJet flight attendants to end strike post wage deal


Aug 3 (Reuters) – The union representing flight attendants at Canada’s ‌WestJet reached a tentative deal ‌with the country’s second-largest carrier on Monday, ​ending a strike that led to the cancellation of hundreds of flights in the busy summer ‌season.

The Canadian ⁠Union of Public Employees, which represents 4,400 flight attendants ⁠at the carrier, sought pay for its members from the ​time they ​check in ​until they clock ‌out, instead of mostly just for time when their aircraft is in motion.

WestJet did not disclose details of the tentative agreement, which ‌will now be ​presented to cabin ​crew members ​for a ratification vote.

Attendants ‌at the airline, which ​has a ​domestic market share of 30%, had gone on strike on ​Sunday ‌after talks fell through.
