Dear Members, 
 
We have been advised of a strike action planned for June 1, 2024 18:00MT by WR ALPA, as well as a lockout by WestJet to WR ALPA for June 1, 2024 18:00MT.
 
The strike/lockout directly pertains to ALPA Pilots of WestJet Encore (WR).  CUPE 4070 Members are bound by their respective Collective Agreements that are in effect.  All parameters of our respective Collective Agreements still apply, and Cabin Personnel remain the responsibility of the Employer.   
 
Please monitor your Company email for communication from the Employer on next steps in the coming days, as well as your personal email on file with the Union for Union-released updates.  If you have not signed up for CUPE 4070 emails, you can sign up here or on our website home page.   The Union remains actively engaged with the Company and ALPA as this situation develops. 
 
Provided below is a list of Company contacts for ease of reference, as well, your respective Base VP can be contacted via the contact section on our website or click here.   
 
Your Union’s role and responsibility is to ensure your rights, under your respective Collective Agreement, continues to be upheld. Should you experience violations of your Collective Agreement, please document what happened and initiate the Informal Discussion with your direct leader and ensure your respective Base VP is contacted.   
   
We understand this is a high-stress situation that affects all Members differently. Please ensure communication remains respectful and professional when engaging with the Company and Union Representatives.
