Dear Members, 

The Union engaged with the WestJet Safety Group to address the “mandatory” safety survey which Cabin Personnel were asked to complete without compensation. The Union maintains that the Employer is responsible for managing its workforce and should strive to provide adequate working and living conditions. Asking the largest workforce, that completes a great deal of labour unpaid, to do more is inappropriate. 

The WestJet Safety group has now engaged with and briefed the Union regarding the Mandatory Safety Survey. We would like to update you that, based on our discussions, the survey is no longer mandatory and is entirely voluntary. 

We appreciate the proactive engagement of members who reached out to inquire about the nature and intention of the initially proposed mandatory survey. Your feedback was invaluable. 

If you are interested in participating in the survey, you are welcome to do so at your convenience, if you wish to. This Voluntary Safety survey can be found in your Company email.  

Please do not hesitate to reach out to your Inflight Leader or your Base VP should you have any questions.
