Members of the union representing cabin crew at the WestJet group of companies will attend a rally this morning organized by WestJet pilots. The pilots, themselves represented by the Airline Pilots Association (ALPA) are protesting hard bargaining by the company.
CUPE 4070 President Alia Hussain said members of her union support the pilots' efforts because the interests of the pilots are also what’s best for the health of WestJet.
“WestJet is losing employees because they are not offering competitive compensation,” said Hussain. “Cabin crew members understand this and we are standing with the pilots in their dispute.”
The rally was scheduled to happen this morning at 9:30 am at the Calgary Airport Marriott Hotel, 2008 Airport Road NE, Calgary.
