Hydro One's Security Checks Ruled Intrusive
Description
Hydro One, Ontarios largest power company, faced backlash for its new security checks, which were deemed too intrusive by a labor arbitrator. The checks, implemented in 2022, included criminal and credit checks for employees handling sensitive gear, leading to the blocking of forty-one risky hires. However, the union argued that the policy was a privacy overreach and ignored industry regulations. Hydro One has since revised the policy for union workers while maintaining it for new hires, emphasizing the grids security and reliability for Ontario residents.
