Hydro-Quebec to Cut 250 Customer Service Jobs
5th November 2009
Canada - Union says company is poised to lay off workers
Hydro-Quebec is cutting 250 customer service jobs, according to
a warning made by unions in full-page newspaper ads.
It is reported that the job cuts will apply to temporary workers
who were hired in 2006.
Union President Claude Arseneault believes the temps are
still needed because of on-going issues with a new computer
system.
He said that if the positions do not become permanent, customers
may experience longer waiting times when calling the
government-owned public utility.
