I work in and around the power utilities sector for one of the largest electrical companies in the world. I agree that some aspects of OPG seem ludicrous, but wages are on par with every other generating facility I have been at, coast to coast. If you think OPG pays their nuclear workers too much, you should see what Bruce Power (privately owned and operated) pays theirs ( a fair bit more). I am not sure why the pay inequity between utilities and the private sector. In actuality, maybe it is the private sector that are underpaid? I do know that a lot of time and effort is put into training employees, whose job it is is to put reliable energy into our homes and businesses 24/7. As an example, the linesman who is hanging out of a bucket truck on Christmas Day in freezing weather so you and your family can enjoy your Holiday. The operators who maintain generation stations year round, on 12hr shift, weekends and holidays so we have heat and light. Paid too much? I suppose it is relative and depends on where you are looking at it from... ![]()
