CUPE 4070 Members Ratify New Contract With Swoop


CUPE Flight Attendants working at Swoop, WestJet's ultra low cost carrier, have signed off on their first collective bargaining agreement. Members voted today to ratify the tentative collective agreement reached in September. The five-year agreement includes wage improvements, and momentum towards industry-standard scheduling and pay rules.

"This is the first ever collective agreement for our membership at Swoop. Ratification of this deal is proof positive that certifying with CUPE has been instrumental in our members' pursuit of fair working conditions," said CUPE 4070 President Chris Rauenbusch. "Reaching this deal was not easy in light of the circumstances caused by the global pandemic. I'd like to thank both our union and our bargaining committee for working so hard to find a path forward despite the challenges of the past 18 months."

CUPE represents over 200 Flight Attendants at Swoop. The parties have been engaged in collective bargaining towards a first union contract since February 2020.

CUPE also represents cabin crew at WestJet mainline and its subsidiary WestJet Encore.
