Hydro One employees’ union seeks conciliation
Contract talks between Hydro One and the Society of United Professionals appear to be heading for conciliation.
The union says it has filed for conciliation with the Ontario Ministry of Labour after five months of bargaining with the utility that failed to come to an agreement on a new deal.
The Society represents about 2,100 technical, administrative and supervisory staff.
“We are eager to reach a fair deal that respects our members’ contributions to Hydro One’s success and is consistent with what others have received from the company,” states Society Hydro One Local Vice-President Vicki Power.
“We want to continue to bargain, and we see conciliation as a necessary step to get the employer to bring forward a fair offer. So far, we haven’t seen that.”
The employee’s last contract expired on October 1st.
