WestJet Workforce Update - May 2021
Dear Members,
As we continue with what we truly hope is the road to recovery, we would like to confirm the following recalls for each bargaining unit that are effective during the month of May. Consistent with what occurred in 2020 when recalls occurred, the Union will once again begin releasing monthly communications regarding workforce levels, once they are known.
As recalls for June 2021 have been announced for WestJet Members, but are still in process, we will update Membership on details of that recall in the next update.
