SNC-Lavalin ordered workers back into office with one business day's notice, union says

On June 2, Candu Energy Inc. mandated all employees to return to the workplace as of last Monday, a requirement the Society of Professional Engineers and Associates says amounts to a negotiating tactic amid a rotating strike launched May 29 at Ontario's Darlington nuclear plant, which Candu is refurbishing.

“We all knew it would take time for people to reorganize their lives, obtain child care, move back to the city, all those things,” Coombs said in an interview. “The clear implication was that if SPEA did not accept Candu's June 2nd offer, Candu would retaliate and force employees to return to the office with just over one business day's notice and on a five-day per week basis,” the filing states.SNC spokesperson Harold Fortin said the company hopes to reach a “fair, equitable and competitive agreement” with the Candu workers, who have been refurbishing reactors at the Darlington Nuclear Generating Station.

The Montreal-based company declined to comment on negotiations over the collective agreement, which expired Dec. 31.

Probably responsible for $80 million extra in Trudo’s bank account

all their executives should be in a prison cell along with Trudo their boss

Well these employees have a job because of tax payers bailouts so gtf back to work.

Bring the engineers in to evaluate the problem at airports, then ask 'WE' to pay for study 🤣🤣

This will be Trudeau's fault in 3...2...1...

If they got Jody Wilson Raybould fired for trying to do her job they will fire anyone.

Funny how our PM thinks SNC is our only uniquely Canadian Engineering Firm and must be protected at all costs. They treat their employees like crap and are corrupt. Clearly he has no understanding that there are better firms 3x the size that operate within the law and have morals

Trudeau discovered another box of papers that need to be shredded. 😆😆😆😜

You're paid to do what you're told.

👏👏👏
