WestJet Mechanics Strike: Over 150 Flights Cancelled Ahead of Long Weekend

In an unexpected turn of events, WestJet mechanics have gone on strike, leading to the cancellation of at least 150 flights starting this Saturday.

This move followed a federal government order for binding arbitration after two weeks of turbulent discussions with the union.
