WestJet flight attendants walk off the job, causing major travel disruptions
WestJet flight attendants are on strike after contract negotiations between the airline and the union failed to produce a new collective agreement before the strike deadline.
As a result, flights have been halted during one of the busiest summer travel periods, leaving thousands of passengers facing cancellations and disruptions.
The job action is expected to have a significant impact on residents of Newfoundland and Labrador, where many travellers rely on WestJet for domestic and connecting flights.
The disruptions could affect vacation plans, business travel, and connections to destinations across Canada and beyond, adding to the challenges of peak summer travel.
