The Globe and Mail reports in its Wednesday edition that a recent successful bid to unionize WestJet Airlines pilots has prompted a push to organize flight attendants at the airline. A Canadian Press dispatch to The Globe says that the airline has long prided itself on its relationship with its employees. Among the benefits offered to WestJet staff are a company-matched share purchase plan. In recent weeks, however, WestJet has found itself the target of two unions wanting to represent its flight attendants. The WestJet Professional Flight Attendants Association (WPFAA) says it has increased efforts, while the Canadian Union of Public Employees (CUPE) says it is considering launching its own campaign to unionize flight attendants. Daniel Kufuor, interim treasurer at the WPFAA, said when the airline's pilots voted last month to join the Air Line Pilots Association International, that was a boost. "It is seen ... as the first domino to fall," said Mr. Kufuor, a former WestJet flight attendant whose dismissal is now the subject of a wrongful-termination lawsuit. He said WPFAA has about 1,200 union cards signed and needs about 200 more to reach the 40-per-cent threshold to trigger a union vote.
