But in recent weeks, WestJet has found itself the target of two unions wanting to represent its flight attendants. CALGARY—A recent successful bid to unionize WestJet pilots has prompted a push to organize flight attendants at the airline. The WestJet Professional Flight Attendants Association (WPFAA) says it has ramped up efforts, while the Canadian Union of Public Employees says it’s considering launching its own campaign to unionize flight attendants. “It is seen ... as the first domino to fall,” said Kufuor, a former WestJet flight attendant whose dismissal is now the subject of a wrongful termination lawsuit. Hugh Pouliot, a spokesperson for CUPE, said they’re still in planning stages and have been in discussions with flight attendants, but haven’t made a formal decision yet.
