Pilots for WestJet Airlines issued a 72-hour strike notice after a breakdown in contract negotiations between the union and the airline.
The union announced on Monday that if a deal is not reached by May 19 its pilots would begin to strike. The union added that a negotiating team will be available during a potential strike to mitigate a deal.
In response, WestJet issued a lockout notice, saying that a work stoppage could occur as early as Friday. Contract negotiations between pilots’ unions and airlines have been tense the past few months. The airline industry was rocked when Delta Airlines delivered a nearly unheard-of 34% pay increase for its pilots over four years. Since the announcement of the deal in March, several other airline unions have demanded their companies match Delta’s contract.
