Hydro One and the Society of United Professionals have reached a tentative deal.

It impacts about two thousand employees working in engineering, supervisory and professional roles.

“The employees represented by the Society of United Professionals play an important part in energizing life for our customers and communities across the province,” says David Lebeter, Hydro One President and Chief Executive Officer. “We are pleased to reach a tentative settlement and want to thank the respective bargaining teams for negotiating to reach this outcome.”

“The Society of United Professionals prides itself on working collaboratively with our employers to negotiate top-flight collective agreements that are fair for everyone,” said Michelle Johnston, President of the Society. “I want to congratulate the leadership of both parties for reaching a tentative deal that addresses our members’ concerns at the bargaining table. We look forward to the ratification of the agreement so that we can get back to the work of electrifying Ontario together.”

Details are not being released pending the outcome of a ratification vote.

That is scheduled for later this fall.
