## Resource

WestJet is already parking planes ahead of a potential strike by its flight attendants this Sunday, as tensions escalate over unpaid work hours — with the union pushing for pay for all time worked under their “Unpaid Work Won’t Fly” campaign. With 99% of 4,400 flight attendants voting in favor of striking, both sides are poised to lock out and strike early Sunday, despite ongoing government mediation efforts. Passengers booked between July 30 and August 4 can change or cancel flights without fees, and WestJet promises refunds or re-accommodation for disruptions — while Encore flights remain unaffected since they’re covered under a separate contract.
