Booked a flight with WestJet? Here’s how you can stay ahead of the looming strike

WestJet has begun grounding flights ahead of a possible strike or lockout involving flight attendants.

The move comes after the Canadian Union of Public Employees, which represents about 4,400 WestJet flight attendants, issued a 72-hour strike notice.

The dispute centres largely on compensation for unpaid work performed on the ground, including boarding passengers, completing safety checks and managing delays.

Global's Jazan Grewal is joined by John Gradek, a faculty lecturer on aviation management at McGill University, to discuss where negotiations stand and what's at stake for travellers.
