WestJet Tentative Flight Attendant Agreement Not Ratified

Current Agreement Remains In Place As Carrier, FAAB Continue To Work Together

WestJet announced Monday that the tentative agreement with its flight attendants was not ratified. Turnout for the vote was very strong; of the 90 per cent voter turnout, 57 per cent voted against the tentative agreement.

"We are obviously disappointed with the results of the vote," said Tyson Matheson, WestJet Vice-President, Inflight. "We believe we brought forward an agreement that balanced the needs of our flights attendants with those of the business. I have no doubt that we will come together to resolve the issues that led to these results. I thank our flight attendants for their voice in this process and for the work they do every day, providing our guests with a great experience."

WestJet's leadership team and FAAB (the Flight Attendant Association Board) will regroup in the coming weeks, focusing on understanding their specific concerns and following the steps outlined in the dispute resolution process.
