Unifor national president Lana Payne said the move marked “an alarming signal of anti-union behaviour” at the SNC
for firing the head of a separate union that represents 900 of its engineers, scientists and technicians.national president Lana Payne said SNC should reinstate Mark Chudak, who led the Society of Professional Engineers and Associates until he and another staffer at the engineering firm’s Candu Energy Inc. subsidiary were dismissed last month over allegations of sharing confidential information with an outside organization.
“It’s serious in any business, but it’s pretty serious in the nuclear business. So we were almost without choice,” Edwards said. He noted the company had hired a new president of Candu, Gary Rose, who has worked with unions in his previous executive posts at Ontario Power Generation. In a copy of the memo from June 2, 2022, obtained by The Canadian Press, Fox reminded workers that a hybrid work model proposed to start the previous September was “on the table,” meaning that the abruptly announced “full-time in-office working policy could change when bargaining concludes.”SNC said in a statement at the time the company hoped to reach a “fair, equitable and competitive agreement” with the Candu workers. The job action ended days later with an agreement on June 14, 2022.
The accusation was part of a pair of unfair labour practice complaints to the board, which are ongoing.
