TSSA Engineers Unionize

The Society of United Professionals (SUP/IFPTE Local 160) is pleased to announce that 34 engineers from the Technical Standards & Safety Authority (TSSA) have joined the Society!  

The campaign started in March with a vote held last week. The vote results were released by the Ontario Labour Relations Board last Friday and a resounding 88% voted Yes! Congratulations to the Society and TSSA engineers!
