For Immediate Release
REGINA Apr 9th – I.B.E.W. Local 2067 has signed a letter of agreement with Bruce Power in support of the further development of the nuclear option in Saskatchewan. The agreement was delivered to the I.B.E.W. Local 2067 membership, along with other information, on April 3, 2009.
“This is an opportunity for our Local to expand on our expertise as the biggest union in the generation, distribution and transmission of electricity in the province of Saskatchewan,” said Neil Collins, I.B.E.W. Local 2067 Business Manager & Financial Secretary. “We look forward to continuing to work with Bruce Power and with our membership as the development of nuclear power continues in Saskatchewan.”
In addition to nuclear power, I.B.E.W. Local 2067 also continues to support the development of other forms of generation supply.
“We have been active supporters of the development of clean coal in the province, and that support remains,” Collins said. “We support the Government of Saskatchewan’s view that a diverse generation mix is in Saskatchewan’s best interests.”
I.B.E.W. Local 2067 members currently work at all of SaskPower’s power stations, which include coal, wind, natural gas and hydro generation.
“As Saskatchewan continues to grow and prosper so will our need for clean electricity,” Collins added.
