Ontario Hydro, union set stage for breakup

Article Abstract:

Ontario Hydro have reached a deal with the Hydro and the Power Workers Union, which represents two-thirds of the company's 22,000 workers, on changes to the union's contract. The changes will simplify the transfer of employees and set the stage for the breakup of the firm into three different organizations. Servo and Genco, two of the three companies, will be responsible for transmission and the power-generating operations of Hydro, respectively, in 2000. To be effective until March 31, 2000, the new agreement will prepare the new firms to be competitive in an open electricity market in Ontario, Canada, in 2000.
