WestJet Labour Dispute Threatens Canada's Economy

Canada's economy is bracing for potential disruption as WestJet winds down operations and cancels flights affecting hundreds of thousands of passengers this weekend. A labour dispute threatens to bring air passenger and cargo transport services to a halt, prompting the Business Council of Canada to urge all parties to reach an agreement before midnight.

The Business Council of Canada's President and CEO, Goldy Hyder, issued a statement calling for Canadians' interests to be prioritized in the negotiations. 'Canadians cannot endure another disruption to national air passenger and cargo transport services due to a labour dispute,' he emphasized.
