WestJet and mechanics’ union ratify contract following two-day strike

The work stoppage that began on June 28 forced the airline to cancel more than 1,050 flights

The work stoppage that began on June 28 forced the airline to cancel more than 1,050 flights during one of the busiest travel windows of the year.

The airline says it’s grateful to have “achieved resolution” but recognizes the “unprecedented impact” of the recent strike.

In a news release, the Aircraft Mechanics Fraternal Association says the ratified agreement is “historic” and contains wage increases that “reflect the value that these highly skilled engineers” add to the airline.
