Across the aviation industry, unionized workers are raising standards — not just for themselves, but for every airline employee in Canada.

When Air Canada Flight Attendants fought back against unpaid work, they showed what solidarity can achieve. Their work stoppage won real improvements and set a new benchmark for fairness and compensation.

Now, WestJet Flight Attendants are preparing to bargain again — taking on the same fight against unpaid hours. Each round of bargaining builds from the wins of the last.

And this matters for you.

If you look at your position at WestJet today — whether in the Contact Centre or support roles — ask yourself:

➡️ Who is fighting for you?
➡️ What’s your mechanism to build better?

At Air Canada, Unifor represents thousands of airport and contact centre agents — all earning equal pay across roles and well above WestJet’s current rates. They’re now beginning bargaining prep meetings for the early new year. At the same time, Unifor airport agents at WestJet have started outreach for their second collective agreement, building on those same industry gains.

Together, Unifor members are setting higher standards across air transportation — and the wins ripple outward.

Unifor by the Numbers:

• 320,000+ members across Canada.

• Over 16,000 members in air transportation — representing workers at Air Canada, WestJet, Porter, and others.

• More than 35,000 telecommunications workers at Bell, Rogers, SaskTel and TELUS — leading the fight for fair wages, scheduling protections, and job security in customer service and tech roles.

Build Better. Join the Movement.

Unifor members in airlines and telecommunications are negotiating major wage gains, better job security, and stronger workplace protections. It only makes sense for WestJet Contact Centre workers to be next.

Build better with your colleagues fighting for more at WestJet, Air Canada, and Porter.

Together, we can ensure that when Onex leaves, workers aren’t left behind.
