WestJet cancels 150 flights as mechanics strike in surprise move on busy long weekend
WestJet announced it will cancel 150 flights — possibly affecting 20,000 travellers — just hours after the airline's mechanics said they would strike. The workers' move follows the federal government's decision on Thursday to impose binding arbitration to solve the outstanding issues of their collective agreement.
