Nuclear energy and a growing Durham Region
Pickering's economy has long been tied to the nuclear generating station that anchors the community, alongside a growing base of logistics, retail, and professional employers as the city expands eastward from Toronto. Energy-sector employment can involve highly specialized roles, unionized workplaces, and periods of restructuring tied to refurbishment or decommissioning timelines.
Energy-sector restructuring and your rights
Non-unionized employees affected by restructuring at a Pickering energy-sector employer are entitled to the same core protections as any other Ontario employee, notice or pay in lieu, and where eligible, statutory severance pay, in addition to any common law entitlement. We help Pickering employees confirm what they're owed, and assist employers navigating workforce changes.
