Stand Together. Be Seen. Be Heard.
WestJet Component is inviting all available Cabin Crew Members to join us for a Day of Action at Toronto Pearson International Airport (YYZ) on Sunday, July 12.
This event is an opportunity for Flight Attendants to come together in solidarity, demonstrate our unity, and raise public awareness about the issues impacting our profession. Whether you are based in Toronto or travelling in from another base, your participation helps send a strong message that WestJet Flight Attendants are united and engaged.
The day will begin with a rally and member gathering at the Sheraton Gateway Hotel, followed by an informational picket at Terminal 3, and will conclude with an optional social engagement event for participants.
Your Presence Matters
Every member who attends helps amplify our collective voice. Whether you can participate for the entire event or only part of the day, your support makes a difference.
