WestJet attendants' strike cancels flights
Canadian WestJet airline hosts and crews have gone on strike due to a wage dispute, leading to the cancellation of over 300 flights over the weekend and causing major disruptions to travel plans across Canada. The main disagreement centers on how wages are calculated for duties performed before takeoff and after landing, with the company arguing that employees are paid according to an hourly system, while the union demands compensation for ground work that is currently unpaid. The company's latest offer to adjust the pay system and provide salary increases was rejected, raising the threat of continued strike action and its impact on air travel in the country.
