Woops.

I'm reading yesterday's Westjet email "happy to confirm that neither a strike nor a lockout will occur, and no further flights will be cancelled"
Westjet looking absolutely brutal on this one, by running to the Labour Minister where they were clearly not negotiating in good faith, to announcing that to not realizing that the AMFA strike notice was still active. Meanwhile the AMFA, at least to what is currently presented, were still able to legally strike and presented the Reverse UNO card.
That Westjet is now threating discipline against AMEs for what appears to be a legal strike is...an interesting choice considering their actions and how in demand they are.
