WestJet flight attendants secure significant wage increase in new contract

In Canada, WestJet flight attendants have ratified a new collective agreement with a 90.2 percent vote. The agreement includes a wage increase of over 18 percent over three years, with specific raises scheduled for October 2026, January 2027, and January 2028. The negotiations were challenging, culminating in a one-day strike earlier this month, and aimed to address issues of unpaid ground work.
