WestJet strike averted Threat of binding arbitration sends union back to the table , ALPA take note ...
The union representing WestJet mechanics has rescinded a strike notice and will resume talks with the airline.
Some 670 WestJet plane mechanics, represented by the Aircraft Mechanics Fraternal Association (AMFA), were set to walk off the job as early as Thursday evening after serving the airline with a strike notice earlier this week following months of negotiations.
But in a statement late Wednesday, WestJet says both the union and airline will return to the bargaining table in the hopes of finding a resolution.
