Flight attendants at Canada’s WestJet go on strike in dispute over pay
Flight attendants at Canada’s WestJet went on strike over a pay dispute, leading to over 300 canceled flights. The Canadian Union of Public Employees represents 4,400 cabin crew, while WestJet claims its 'credit hour' system compensates staff for ground duties, a claim the union disputes. A similar strike occurred last summer at Air Canada.
