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.

In the end it's the public that suffers. The airline industry is almost monopolized by air Canada and Westjet. There should be more competition

Dont call them engineers. These are technicians. It's actually illegal to call yourself and engineer unless you are member of a professional engineering org.

Why do you think unions exist? What corruption and injustice had to occur in order for workers to risk their lives to form unions? Read a little history, and look around at the world you live in. The wealthy exploit everyone else, yet you say "screw the unions." smh
