  "summary": "A British Columbia court has approved a $4.5-million settlement in a class-action lawsuit brought by female flight attendants at WestJet, alleging workplace harassment. The settlement, which was deemed fair and reasonable by a judge, applies to over 3,400 current and former female flight attendants who worked for the airline between April 4, 2014 and Feb. 28, 2021. An online claims portal is being prepared for those who submit valid claims, with each potentially receiving roughly $470.",
