CALGARY — The union representing WestJet cabin crew has shared details of the tentative deal reached with the Calgary-based airline this week after a one-day strike. The Canadian Union of Public Employees says the deal includes a more than 18 per cent wage hike over three years, as well as a new “duty period premium” that adds compensation for work done on the ground. The air carrier and the union reached a tentative deal early Monday, and WestJet operations gradually returned to normal. This report by The Canadian Press was first published Aug. 6, 2026.
