In this episode of In the Jumpseat, host Cameron Jones is joined by Alia Hussain, President of the Local, to provide a clear overview of what the upcoming collective agreement expiries mean for WestJet Mainline and WestJet Encore Cabin Crew. This episode is intended to help members understand where bargaining currently stands, what protections are in place and what to expect as contract expiry dates approach.

In this episode, you’ll hear:

• Key collective agreement expiry dates for Mainline and Encore
• The stages of the bargaining process and what happens after expiry
• What the statutory freeze is and how it protects members
• Why negotiations can continue beyond contract expiry
• How members can stay informed and show visible support during bargaining

This episode is especially helpful for newer members or anyone looking for clarity as bargaining progresses. The goal is to keep members informed, engaged, and confident in the process.

Important reminder: Members should not engage in any job action unless explicitly communicated by the Union.

Thank you for tuning in, and as always, thank you for joining us In the Jumpseat.
