Hydro Ottawa says talks will continue this week between the utility and the union as a strike by approximately 400 employees nears the end of a fourth week.
Meantime, Hydro Ottawa says an injunction has been granted for a "comprehensive protocol" for the picket line that will "protect the ability of our non-union employees and contractors to operate safety in the field." The utility says the injunction order includes rules around picket line delays during restoration efforts and safety parameters around work sites.
Hydro Ottawa says it offered employees a 13.6 per cent raise over four years. The union said last week that issues unresolved included employee safety concerns, "workplace toxicity" and "getting a fair contract."In a statement on Sunday, Hydro Ottawa said meetings took place last Monday and Thursday, and there was an agreement to continue discussions this week.
"As I've said many times before, we truly value and appreciate the hard work and dedication of all of our employees," Bryce Conrad, President and CEO of Hydro Ottawa, said in a statement. "I remain confident that a balanced and responsible agreement can be reached, and look forward to continuing discussions next week."Hydro Ottawa says it filed for an injunction last week following a "number of incidents on the picket line.
"We are grateful to the court for recognizing the need for a comprehensive protocol on the picket line and the issuance of the injunction order as we continue to maintain an essential service to our customers.
