TORONTO, ONTARIO - Frustrated by Hydro One management's refusal to bargain, Hydro One professional employees will conduct a one-day "forced outage" on Wednesday, May 25th.
The Society is calling this one-day strike a "forced outage" to emphasize that management's refusal to bargain is forcing their hand. Society members are standing up to protect the future of Ontario's electricity system, and their right to equal pay for equal work, fairness, and respect. "Hydro One management still refuses to sit down and bargain with us," said Keith Rattai, the Society's Hydro One Vice President. "The last thing we want to do is withdraw our labour, but management apparently won't get serious without it."
