Unionized workers have been on strike against the city\u002Downed utility company since June 28.

During the strike, Hall says, members are picketing at locations across the city from Kanata to Hunt Club. He said Hydro Ottawa services remained in operation, but that delays should be expected.

“There’s a lot of instances where incidents and near-misses are being ignored, and we need to stop doing that,” Hall said, noting there were incidents after the May 2022 derecho that had yet to be addressed by the employer. “Hydro Ottawa has been very fortunate. We haven’t had any major accidents here in a while and we want to maintain that.

In terms of health insurance, Hall said some benefits hadn’t been updated in almost 10 years, pointing out a particular lack of mental health resources for workers.Article content
