WestJet faces a lawsuit over planned strike by baggage handlers

• WestJet faces a lawsuit over a planned strike by CUPE 8125 ground staff, after the union said the workers would go on strike.
• The company is seeking to have the union’s members’ strike declared illegal. In a filing, WestJet — the company — argues that the workers’ strike should be illegal because it is based on an “unlawful” vote and that the vote was conducted through a “credit hour.”
• WestJet’s strike notice means the company could lose about 250,000 Canadian dollars in revenue if the strike goes ahead.

WestJet, which is based in Canada, has filed a lawsuit against the union representing ground staff, which is planning a strike. The strike could lead to flight delays and leave passengers without normal service.

The Canadian Union of Public Employees (CUPE 8125), which represents 4,400 employees, says the union’s members are voting on a new contract, which includes a wage increase. The union says the strike could be approved by its members.

One of the key points in the lawsuit is that the union’s members’ strike is illegal. The company says that, under the agreement, the workers are required to follow the “credit hour” system for scheduling the strike vote.

In response, WestJet argues that it will be affected by the strike. The company says that, if the strike goes ahead, it will lose 495 flights in total, which will have a direct impact on other flights. The company says that, in total, it could lose about 250,000 Canadian dollars in revenue; some of the workers could be unable to work, and some could be unable to fly.

In a statement, NBC News also said that WestJet has described details of the timeline for the strike vote, and the company said that it will be possible to find out the details of the vote. Reuters previously reported that WestJet had canceled 615 flights scheduled for the four-day period under the Cirium schedule.
