Flight attendants at WestJet, Canada's second-largest airline, walked off the job on Sunday. The strike began after the carrier and the union failed to reach an agreement.
Labor talks broke down between WestJet and the union representing 4,400 flight attendants. The employees are seeking improved wages, better scheduling, and compensation for unpaid work.
The job action resulted in the cancellation of hundreds of flights, with more than 300 canceled as of early Sunday. These disruptions snarled travel plans and stranded passengers in the middle of a busy three-day holiday weekend.
