WestJet, Canada’s second-largest airline, said it has cancelled at least 150 flights carrying 20,000 passengers since Saturday after the maintenance workers’ union announced a strike.

The Aircraft Mechanics Fraternal Association said its members began the strike on Friday evening because the airline’s “unwillingness to negotiate with the union” made it unavoidable.
​​​​​​​
The strike came after the federal government issued a ministerial order for binding arbitration on Thursday, following two weeks of turbulent negotiations with the union over a new collective agreement.
