The Progressive Conservatives are planning to recall the legislature to table back-to-work legislation to end a potential strike by power workers that could lead to outages.

Politicians will be back at Queen’s Park Monday to end a potential labour disruption.

On Thursday, members of Ontario’s Power Worker’s union rejected a contract offer from Ontario Power Generation, putting them in a legal strike position as of Dec. 26.

The union, which has been without a deal since March 31, says in a statement that OPG’s final offer remained unchanged from a previous position and was rejected.

Ontario Power Generation expressed disappointment that its offer was rejected and says it is activating contingency plans in the event of a labour disruption.

The union represents over 16,000 workers in Ontario’s energy sector, including about 6,000 OPG employees.
