Just a sign calling the 1-800 #, a huge line and the police being called. So not only the Westjet employees but others handling are taking a beating which unfortunately doesn't help.
The contract staff didn’t show because many of them actually contracted the virus themselves or were in close contact with those that contracted the virus! Going to work sick or potentially sick is a bad bad idea!
