CUPE SUES TO HALT FURTHER PRIVATIZATION OF HYDRO ONE

A major union has followed through its threat to sue Premier Kathleen Wynne and two cabinet ministers to halt the further privatization of Hydro One.
The Canadian Union of Public Employees, which issued a notice of intent to sue two months ago, filed the lawsuit in hopes of stopping the Liberal government from selling more shares in the Crown utility.
CUPE and opposition parties have raised concerns the sale will sacrifice a steady revenue stream from Hydro One into government coffers and drive up electricity rates.
