The union representing more than 700 employees at WestJet at the airports in Calgary and Vancouver says they voted to support a strike if they cannot reach a new contract with the airline.
Unifor Local 531 represents baggage service agents, customer service agents, and guest service leadership, among others, in Calgary and Vancouver.
The union says wages are a key issue in contract talks. It says workers voted 98 percent in favor of an early strike on July 27 if no agreement is reached.
Before any strike action is taken, Unifor must serve WestJet Airlines with a 72-hour notice.
The strike comes as airlines and airports struggle this summer with the return of travel after COVID-19 restrictions were lifted.
