BRACEVILLE, Ill., April 3, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Security officers at nuclear power plants operated by Constellation energy company may go on strike after the union representing them and the company have so far failed to reach an agreement on a new contract. Under federal law, nuclear plants must operate under a costly contingency plan in the run-up to and during a strike, and the union highlights the fact that cost of the contingency plan far exceeds the cumulative cost to the company of the annual wage increases to the security officers during the life of the contract.

Key Points: 
  • The security officers in four of Constellation's fourteen nuclear plants are represented by the National Union of Nuclear Security Officers (NUNSO), a division of United Federation LEOS-PBA.
  • ; Clinton Power Station, in Clinton, IL; and R. E. Gina nuclear Power Plant in Ontario, NY.
  • Security officers at one other Constellation nuclear plant, the Dresden Generating Station in Morris, IL, are represented by SEIU Local 1 in Chicago.
  • The security officers contract in these two plants have a no-strike clause:
    If a nationwide strike is called against Constellation energy company by the Union, LEOS-PBA expects that the other unions would honor its strike line — essentially, shutting down Constellation energy company's nuclear sites nationwide.
