This is the best summary I could come up with:
A strike by WestJet mechanics has been averted after federal Labour Minister Seamus O'Regan directed the Canada Industrial Relations Board (CIRB) to impose final binding arbitration to resolve the outstanding issues of the collective agreement between the airline and the Aircraft Mechanics Fraternal Association (AMFA).
A potential strike by WestJet airplane mechanics had threatened to upend travel plans for 250,000 customers over the Canada Day long weekend, according to the airline.
"With the government's actions, the summer travel plans of Canadians have been protected and we have a path to resolution," said the airline's president Diederik Pen.
Slade was on a three-week rotation and had flights booked to go back home to Newfoundland from Victoria on Wednesday with a connection through Calgary — where he ended up stranded because of the impacts of the potential strike.
Plane mechanics first served the carrier with a 72-hour strike notice on June 17, prompting WestJet to cancel nearly 50 flights last week before both sides agreed to resume negotiations.
Union members voted overwhelmingly to reject a tentative deal earlier this month and have opposed WestJet's request for intervention by the country's labour tribunal.
