Onex Corp's WestJet on Saturday said that it has issued a 72-hour lockout notification to its technical operations union ‍Aircraft Mechanics Fraternal Association (AMFA). The company said that a work stoppage could occur as early as May 7 unless a deal is reached with AMFA. The 72-hour lockout notice does not mean travel disruption will occur, WestJet said in a statement, adding that in the coming days it will take necessary action to manage impacts.
