CUPE Local 4070, representing cabin crew members at the WestJet group of companies, says the federal government's response to the Omicron variant of the COVID-19 virus does nothing to protect Canadians. Local President Chris Rauenbusch says the travel advisory failed in the past and will not enhance inflight safety. “Canada remains the only fully vaccinated air transportation sector across the globe. Vaccine mandates and testing, including outbound rapid testing is the single best way to protect travellers and airline workers,” comments Rauenbusch. “The government has failed to ensure that the livelihood of Canadians in the transportation and logistics sector is a priority at all.” CUPE Local 4070 is urging the federal government to evaluate the fragility of the air transport and travel sector before making further decisions.
