Last night @hydroottawa workers voted to accept an offer. It was hard fought and it was long, but our members are more united as a workforce than ever before. They are grateful for your #solidarity and look forward to getting back to work and powering Ottawa safely. #ottnews

For the 2nd time @hydroottawa deferred its 2022 annual presentation to @ottawacity council. Is it because they didn't want to face their workers who showed up in impressive numbers yesterday? Day 79, but as this picture shows - they are not broken. They are united and strong.

Mike Hall said @hydroottawa [is] the most difficult employer. “It’s old-school...They think if they have lots of grievances they’re managing their people properly. But how is that 2023 thinking? In all my other employers, the goal is zero grievances.” ottawacitizen.com/news/local…

After more than 70 days, it’s past time to end the Hydro Ottawa strike, ensure safe working conditions and fair wages. Electrical workers have been there for Ottawa when we needed them most. @hydroottawa @IBEWLocal636 #Ottawa #Ottnews

In 2015 it cost Halifax Water $2 Million for @AFIMACGlobal security services during their 2 month strike. How much has it cost @hydroottawa to employ #AFIMAC for this strike nearing 3 months in today's $$$? SCAB contractors? @ottawacity #ottnews #audit cbc.ca/news/canada/nova-scot…

$2M security bill for Halifax Water labour dispute no drop in bucket | CBC News

A Freedom of Information request shows Halifax Water racked up nearly $1 million in security costs the first month of its labour disruption. The utility confirmed costs were the same in the second...

In memory of brothers lost. Twenty-one @IBEW members from Local 3 and Local 1212 were among the nearly 3,000 people whose lives were tragically lost in the attack on the World Trade Center. We remember them today and always.

22 years ago, we lost 2,977 Americans during the 9/11 terrorist attacks, including 17 members of Local 3 and four from Local 1212 that morning, all working on the job at the World Trade Center. They will never be forgotten.

We are union strong on Day 74. @hydroottawa is coming back to the negotiating table this week and our team is meeting with @ottawacity @_MarkSutcliffe. Thanks @theJagmeetSingh and the @NDP caucus for your #solidarity and giving a morale boost to hydro workers. #EnoughIsEnough

The NDP is — and will always be on the side of workers fighting for better wages. Yesterday, our entire team of MPs stood in solidarity with IBEW Local 636 who are walking the line. We let CEOs like Bryce Conrad know, workers deserve better. 1 day longer, 1 day stronger.

Shame on @hydroottawa. Are your employees supposed to believe you care about them when you ignore our calls for 2 weeks? You are punishing your workers. We demand @ottawacity council and @_MarkSutcliffe make Hydro come back to the table. This is toxic behaviour. #71DAYS

It's DAY 70 since @hydroottawa workers went on strike for safety, benefits, wages and respect. The company isn't answering our calls to meet. The CEO says he can't give 1% more to support his workers, yet 4 Hydro execs got $750K in BONUSES in 3 years? 👀 It doesn't add up.

What a monumental #LabourDay2023 it was as @IBEWLocal636 members on strike for 69 days from @hydroottawa led the parade with @Ottawalabour, @ottawacity Councilors and Mayor @_MarkSutcliffe. We're humbled by our powerful labour union siblings and support by residents.🧵⬇️ #ontlab

Happy #LabourDay! 69 days ago @hydroottawa CEO said worker safety concerns were just them "throwing spaghetti at the wall". Since the strike, he's admitted the safety issues were "valid". Hydro workers deserve safety AND a fair deal @_MarkSutcliffe. 🙏@J4Wottawa @Ottawalabour
