The IBEW and Local 1928 have reached a tentative collective agreement with NSP Maritime Link (an Emera subsidiary) regarding the outside line construction work related to the Maritime Link project. The Maritime Link will build the infrastructure to bring hydroelectric power from Muskrat Falls, Labrador, to Cape Breton. The Nova Scotia contract is modeled after the Lower Churchill Falls Project contract. This agreement will have to be ratified by our outside line construction members who will receive a summary of the agreement and notice by mail of the details. The vote will take place the first week of September.

IBEW Local 1928 has employed the services of Raymond Larkin, Q.C., for many years. On April 29, his firm, Pink Larkin opened the doors to its brand new office in the Trillium Building at 1463 South Park Street in Halifax. After almost 24 years on Hollis Street, the move is an exciting new phase for the firm. Check it out!

On June 10, the Planning Coordinators and Work Management Specialists in the Resource Management Centre at Nova Scotia Power voted to join the NSP Collective Agreement under the terms of a Letter of Understanding negotiated on June 6 and 7. We welcome these new IBEW Local 1928 members, who  were admitted to the bargaining unit by a Labour Board decision on April 4, 2013.
