WestJet and the Canadian Union of Public Employees, representing 4,400 flight attendants, reached a tentative contract agreement early Monday morning.
|
|
|
The announcement out of negotiations in Calgary brings an end to the day-old job action, with both the union’s strike notice and the company’s lockout notice being withdrawn.
|
|
|
A statement from CUPE 8125 says since the strike is now over, flight attendants will be returning to work.
|
|
|
There is no word yet on when the airline’s operations will get back up to speed, but a separate statement from WestJet says it will share further details as they become available.
|
|
|
Contract talks had been ongoing since January, with WestJet and the CUPE WestJet Component at odds over wage increases and the cabin crew’s claim of unpaid ground work.
