Union Representing NS Power Workers Submits 48-Hour Strike Notice
The union said about 800 workers could begin picket duty after rejecting a second tentative agreement and seeking strike authorization.
- On Monday, July 27, 2026, IBEW Local 1928 filed a 48-hour strike notice with the Nova Scotia Labour Board, affecting about 800 electrical workers at Nova Scotia Power.
- Friday's membership vote resulted in the rejection of a second tentative agreement, prompting the union to request formal strike authorization from the IBEW International Office.
- While the IBEW represents 1,300 total electrical workers across the province, this specific dispute involves roughly 800 employees working for the province's largest utility provider.
- Union leadership instructed members on Monday to prepare for picket duty, as the 48-hour countdown commences once the Labour Board acknowledges receipt of the notice.
- Despite the looming strike deadline, the union indicated it will continue discussions with Nova Scotia Power throughout this process in hopes of reaching a negotiated agreement.
