Strike By WestJet Flight Attendants Is Over

The strike by WestJet flight attendants is over with the airline saying a tentative agreement has been reached with the Canadian Union of Public Employees.

The flight attendants will now vote on the deal.

WestJet says it will share further details on the return to operations as they become available. 

Nearly 4,300 WestJet flight attendants walked off the job early yesterday morning causing travel chaos on one of the busiest long weekends of the year.

The main outstanding issue in contract talks was pay for time the cabin crew spends working when planes are on the ground.
