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. The Aircraft Mechanics Fraternal Association (AMFA) initiated the strike due to the airline’s “unwillingness to negotiate with the union,” making the strike inevitable. This move followed a federal government order for binding arbitration after two weeks of turbulent discussions with the union.

Calgary-based WestJet expressed extreme outrage at the mechanics’ actions and vowed to hold AMFA accountable for the stress and costs incurred. Last year, WestJet narrowly averted a strike during the May long weekend, but this time, over 20,000 travelers will be impacted by the cancellations.

As the Canada Day long weekend approaches, passengers are left wondering about their travel plans, while the airline grapples with the unexpected labor disruption.
