Why did the Chief Stewards recommend acceptance of the Bruce Power Offer to renew the Collective Agreement for 2 years?

The Chief Stewards reviewed Bruce Power’s proposal and agreed to trust the Members and give them the opportunity to determine whether or not Bruce Power’s proposal was acceptable. The Chief Stewards unanimously recommended that the members vote to accept. In reaching the decision the Chief Stewards determined that in the circumstances, with CNSC determinations pending in regard to ensuring the safe operating life of pressure tubes and the importance of stability for our members during the ongoing refurbishment work programs and COVID 19 pandemic, a 2-year Collective Agreement (January 1, 2022 to December 31, 2023) is the best option for PWU members. It will provide pay increases as well as continued certainty and protections for our members for the term of the agreement.
