WestJet flight attendants are starting contract talks seeking higher pay and better conditions as their current deal expires.

WestJet flight attendants, represented by CUPE Local 8125, have begun contract negotiations with the airline as their current agreement nears expiration on December 31. The union is seeking better pay, compensation for unpaid work, and improved working conditions, reflecting broader industry trends as airlines recover from the pandemic. The move follows similar actions by Air Canada flight attendants who recently rejected a wage offer. WestJet has acknowledged receiving the notice and plans to engage in talks, though no details about the negotiations or outcomes have been released.
