Engineers and other workers at Toronto Hydro were outside picketing their company headquarters on Thursday morning.

The protest at 14 Carlton St., at Yonge Street, was one of three across the city.

Members of The Society of Energy Professionals’ Toronto Hydro Local said they are protesting the proposed elimination of retirement benefits, as well as cuts to parental and family leave for all new hires.

Signs at the demonstration read “retirement security for all” and “we won’t sell out the next generation.”

The employees on strike included all non-management engineers at Toronto Hydro. Last week, they voted 98 per cent in favour of a strike.
