WestJet Pilots Show Their Support For The WJPA

Unionization Vote Was A Fairly Close Finish

The Canada Industrial Relations Board (CIRB) has released the official results of the vote to unionize WestJet pilots.

Over 684 eligible pilots, representing 55 per cent of WestJet pilots who voted, showed their support for the WestJet Pilots Association (WJPA) by voting "no" to making WestJet Professional Pilots Association their bargaining agent in matters of collective bargaining with their employer.

"WestJet pilots were offered a clear choice—continued representation by the WJPA or unionization," said Captain Paul Ysselmuiden and Captain Michael Wesolowski, co-chairs of the WJPA. "These results demonstrate decisive support for the WJPA to continue to lead more than 1,500 pilots into the future."

The WJPA says it strongly believes that WestJet and WestJet Encore pilots are stronger when they are part of one team. Moving forward, the WJPA will continue to effectively advocate on behalf of all WestJet and WestJet Encore pilots.
