WestJet flight attendants begin contract talks over unpaid duties ahead of December 31 deadline.

WestJet flight attendants represented by CUPE Local 8125 have begun contract negotiations after serving the airline with a notice to bargain. The talks, set to address issues including unpaid pre- and post-flight duties, are scheduled before the current contract expires on December 31. The union seeks to end unpaid work, a key concern also seen in recent disputes with Air Canada, where a brief strike was halted by federal intervention.
