According to Hall, Hydro Ottawa said that it would also make an effort to add another meeting date during the week.“We’re cautiously optimistic,” Hall said. “It’s never a bad thing to hear that you’re gonna get together and talk. To comment and how I think those talks are gonna go, I have no idea until I get there.
The collective agreement with IBEW Local 636, which represents trades and technical employees as well as inside workers such as customer service representatives, expired March 31.Article content “I’ve said it before, it is not our intention to negotiate through the media or to politicize the collective bargaining process,” Bryce Conrad, Hydro Ottawa’s president and CEO, said in a news release issued Tuesday. “We have extended an invitation to the IBEW representative directly to discuss their concerns.”
