WestJet, Union Reach Tentative Deal to End Strike but Travellers Still in Limbo The tentative agreement between WestJet and its unionized flight attendants has brought some relief to hundreds of passengers stranded by the strike.
However, it's far from a clean resolution, as details emerge that suggest this deal is more about managing fallout rather than addressing underlying issues.
WestJet's legacy credits system was a key sticking point in negotiations. The system rewards flight attendants for hours spent on aircraft but not for work done before or after boarding and deplaning.
