West Jet Airlines warns of work stoppage in Canada

Canadian airline WestJet issued a 72-hour closure notice to the Aircraft Mechanics Association (AMFA) yesterday, Saturday, which it said could lead to a work stoppage as early as Tuesday, May 7, if an agreement is not reached.

In turn, AMFA issued a referendum last week, allowing members to vote to permit the union to call for a strike.

The voting period for the referendum ends on May 9.

The airline stated that a potential work stoppage does not necessarily mean travel disruptions will occur, but it is taking some steps to mitigate the impacts of this stoppage.
