We are the LARGEST airline union in Canada and in North America!

Can I sign people up on company property?

Yes you can.
But make sure it’s on your own time.

Can I talk about Union matters openly with another employees at break, lunch time or before or after work?

Yes. Your right to free speech is protected. However, that right does not entitle you to disturb work operations.

If another employee comes to me during working hours and asks to sign up to the Union, what should I do?

Tell them you’ll do it after work or at lunch time.

Bad things

"We've already noticed changes - not good ones - in our work lives. Those little things that made WestJet a special place are turning for the worse (Anonymous, for obvious reasons)

Who’s unionised at WestJet

"Pilots and Flight Attendants are unionised. Why not us?"

Who’s protected?

"Flight Attendants and Pilots have union protection. We have none. When they start making cuts, who do you think they'll come after?"
