WestJet, flight attendants reach tentative deal ending strike that grounded 600 flights
CBC News—WestJet and its flight-attendants' union have reached a tentative agreement to end a strike that grounded roughly 600 flights over the long summer weekend, stranding travelers across Canada. The walkout, which the union had threatened for weeks before following through during the August holiday period, left passengers scrambling to rebook as frustration mounted at airports nationwide. Terms of the tentative wage agreement have not been publicly detailed, and the deal must still be ratified before flights fully resume normal schedules. WestJet has not said how long it will take to clear the backlog of disrupted travel.
