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-new…
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.
Bryce Conrad of @hydroottawa if you're going to share salaries, why not Lyne Parent-Garvey and others? #hydroottawa no longer @NCRTopEmployers @top_employers @Achievers @electricityHR
It has long been practice @Ottawalabour to have a union local who is on strike or locked out, if any, lead our Labour Day March. This year @IBEWLocal636 will be at the front. #LabourDay2023
To put an end to this strike, we've suggested binding arbitration multiple times, but @hydroottawa has repeatedly refused. What are they scared of? A fair deal for their workers? CEO Bryce Conrad has the power to end this strike and do the right thing for his workers. #Day65
Hydro Ottawa strike is paused, for the HR manager/shot caller for the company to go on vacation. The skeleton crew running the field work would love to be on vacation, and the 395 employees on strike for TEN WEEKS would love to return to work.
A big shoutout to the amazing @OPSEU members for joining striking @hydroottawa workers yesterday on the picket line. ✊ You've inspired our members to organize and fight for safe working conditions, fair wages, and respect. #Solidarity #StrongerTogether💪
Thanks @theJagmeetSingh for this much needed message of #solidarity for our @hydroottawa members currently on strike for 52 days. We will continue to stand strong and fight for a safe and fair work environment. One day longer, one day stronger.✊ cc: @IBEWCanada @ottawacity
✊Yes! @IBEWLocal636 and @hydroottawa workers absolutely support the #MetroStrike! ✊ Workers in all industries across Canada are saying #EnoughIsEnough! #Justice4Workers One day longer, one day stronger @UniforLocal414

Strike Day 52. #CathyCurry @KanataNorth has yet to reply to our Jul 3 email, Aug 8 phone call or Aug 16 office picket re: safety concerns, grievances and a fair deal. As a @hydroottawa board member and @ottawacity councillor, what did she and the board approve for this strike?
Over 400 @hydroottawa workers, members of @IBEWLocal636 , have been on strike for almost 2 months—for good jobs, good public services, and a safe and reliable power supply. Join us on Monday: 📍2711 Hunt Club Rd Ottawa, ON K1G 5Z9 Please bring flags, banners,…
Be great if folks could stop in to the Solidarity BBQ taking place this coming Monday August 21st, 2023 11:30am-1:00pm in support of @IBEWLocal636 being organized by @Ottawalabour @OFLabour @CanadianLabour Everyone welcome #Thanks
@IBEWLocal636 @ottawacity @KanataNorth Maybe the workers are taking the time off after winning the lottery
🗣️UNFAIR LABOUR PRACTICE Specifically, our allegations against @hydroottawa include: 🛑Section 70: Employers are not to interfere with the administration of unions 🛑Section 72: Employers are not to interfere with employees' rights 🛑Section 76: Intimidation and coercion
Is this the part where "Band-Aids, bubble gum and duct tape" come in to play Bryce Conrad and Lyne Parent-Garvey of @hydroottawa ? @ottawacity @OttawaCitizen @IBEWLocal636 @SamLapradeCFRE #ottcity @IBEW
Bryce Conrad of @hydroottawa said it, and so far it holds true. "Bryce wants to hold the Union out for two months to send a message to the minions to get back in line". #hydroottawa #ottcity @_MarkSutcliffe
SCAB UPDATE! @AerialWork1822 has left town today after 'providing what [the owner] called “Band-Aids, bubble gum and duct tape...”' solutions to keep @ottawacity safe. After 38 days, it's time @hydroottawa offers a fair deal to its unionized workers. ✊ Thanks @cathhmorrison.

It's disheartening when contractors from the electrical industry willingly cross picket lines to perform union work. They damage the livelihoods of fellow electrical workers and put collective bargaining in jeopardy during strike action. Beware these SCAB companies. A thread⬇️

Dropped off some placards & stickers at the @IBEWLocal636 picket line at 2711 Hunt Club this morning. Drop by to show #solidarity Or, send mayor @_MarkSutcliffe + your city councillor an email demanding, as owners of @hydroottawa, they ensure a fair deal justice4workers.org/ottawa_hydro

Yes your community needs attention, but it is naïve to believe @hydroottawa can action any work in your community when 400 of their employees are on strike. It's been 7 weeks and @ottawacity council complains publicly about outages, but won't help hydro workers get back to work.
I have had several talks with @hydroottawa and they committed to meet to discuss short term and medium term improvements for #CollegeWard in the coming weeks. They acknowledge our community needs attention.
.@hydroottawa's CEO claims wage increases for frontline hydro workers will negatively affect electricity rates. Yet lavish salaries and bonuses for executives don't? Make it make sense. Do Hydro Board / @ottawacity Councillors #CathyCurry @KanataNorth and #LauraDudas agree?
Thank you for showing solidarity and spreading the word with us @J4Wottawa. ✊ It seems every storm brings lasting outages to areas of #KnoxdaleMerivale. @DevineSean's constituents deserve reliable electricity. He should speak up to help end the strike for @hydroottawa workers.
Pleased to join @IBEWLocal636 workers from @hydroottawa in #KnoxdaleMerivale. Talking to neighbours re 6week strike's effects on regular maintenance & storm response. Folks aware derecho heros treated disrespectfully by @ottawacity. #EnoughIsEnoughON @OFLabour @Ottawalabour
Contractors hired by @hydroottawa 'fixed' this Leitrim Road pole bordering @Jessica_Ottawa / @SteveDesroches. This is unacceptable and unsafe - even temporarily. Councillors, show your support for skilled hydro workers that keep @ottawacity safe. #StrikeDay46. #safetyisserious
We've seen the pictures of @fordnation wearing an @IBEW_CCO shirt. That's NOT us. We are a utility local with no ties to @IBEW_CCO. To be very, very clear - we do NOT support the #DougFord government. In fact, we've joined other unions to fight Ford. rabble.ca/labour/ibew-sp…
Today is the first Unfair Labour Practice hearing against @hydroottawa. We are alleging that #HydroOttawa has violated sections 70, 72 and 76 of the Ontario Labour Relations Act. This okay Hydro board #LauraDudas @KanataNorth @catherinejclark @cyleeder @CyReporter @yapbalta?
🗣️UNFAIR LABOUR PRACTICE Specifically, our allegations against @hydroottawa include: 🛑Section 70: Employers are not to interfere with the administration of unions 🛑Section 72: Employers are not to interfere with employees' rights 🛑Section 76: Intimidation and coercion
Reminder: @hydroottawa workers are fighting over life-threatening safety concerns, unfair wage freezes, chronic understaffing, and a toxic work environment that consistently produces the highest number of grievances for any company that @IBEWLocal636 represents in Ontario.
.@hydroottawa is 100% owned by @ottawacity. With workers on strike now for 50 DAYS, it's time for the city to step in. Come by one of our @ottawacity rallies this a.m. with @J4Wottawa and @HorizonOttawa. You can also send a message to your Councillor justice4workers.org/ottawa_hydro 🙏

Thank you for your leadership @RiverWardRiley. 🙏 You are the FIRST @ottawacity Councillor to publicly stand in #solidarity with @hydroottawa workers. ✊ 50 days is too long for these workers and their families. They deserve respect, a safe workplace and to make ends meet.
@PaddySqueezebox @IBEWLocal636 @PSACNCR @CUPEOntario @J4Wottawa @HorizonOttawa @hydroottawa @OFLabour @ottawacity @IBEWCanada @_MarkSutcliffe @MonteMcNaughton This strike has gone on 50 days too long. Standing in solidarity with Hydro workers who deserve a safe workplace, fair wages and benefits and respect. Regrettably, I am in a Committee meeting at City Hall this morning, but welcome a visit by Hydro workers any time.
A big thank you @JoelHardenONDP for your continued #solidarity by standing with @hydroottawa workers as they fight for a fair deal and safe work. As nearly 400 hydro workers mark 50 days on strike today, your ongoing support is very much appreciated by them and their families.✊
Hey #Ottawa, these are the folks who work hard to keep our lights on in all kinds of weather, but @hydroottawa has treated them like crap. This has to stop. ⚡️💡🧵
