WestJet cancels dozens of flights as maintenance engineers prepare for strike

WestJet is cancelling dozens of flights across Canada as unionized maintenance engineers at the company prepare to go on strike.

The company said in a statement on Wednesday that it was going to cancel 40 flights as it prepares for labour action by WestJet aircraft maintenance engineers and other tech ops employees. The airline said the cancellation would affect around 6,500 passengers.

As Global’s Andrea Macpherson reports, the two sides do not appear close to an agreement.
