Excitement is building in Edmonton and Toronto with WestJetters who want to join their colleagues in Calgary and Vancouver as members of Unifor.

There seems to be some misunderstanding from some workers who worry that joining the union is doing something against Onex WestJet.

Joining the union is about empowering workers to have a voice in their working conditions. When workers have a say in their workplace, it doesn't mean they are against their employer. They still support their employer's success. It doesn't need to be one way or another. WestJet's success should transpire into workers having more secure and stable jobs.

Check out this video from a fellow WestJetter in Calgary talking about why workers wanted to join Unifor.

"I am proud to work at WestJet and proud to now be a member of Unifor. WestJet grew as a company where workers were heard, and Unifor will help make sure that continues," said Sherwin Antonio, a Guest Service Lead at WestJet in Calgary.
