Striking aircraft mechanics are seen on the picket line at Pearson International Airport, in Toronto, Saturday, June 29, 2024.
“It’s chaos,” said Amy Morris, who was visiting the country for the first time from Atlanta, Ga., with her family. “We had a hiking trip planned tomorrow in Banff, we lose the entire first day at least...it’s not a great introduction to Canada.” Sean McVeigh, a WestJet aircraft maintenance engineer picketing at Pearson’s Terminal 3 on Saturday, said the strike is an attempt to force the airline to return to a “respectful negotiation.”“However, the reason they have possibly missed a flight or had to cancel is due to the reason that WestJet is not respectfully sitting down at the table and negotiating,” he said alongside roughly 20 others on the picket line.
On Saturday, Mr. O’Regan said he was reviewing a decision made by the industrial relations board to refer a dispute between WestJet and the AMFA for binding arbitration — a process where a third party deliberates on the terms of a collective agreement.
