A Strong, Proactive, Effective Association committed to building respect for our members

Cert. 1974

The Society of Professional Engineers and Associates

The Society of Professional Engineers and Associates (SPEA) is a union representing engineers, scientists, technologists, skilled trades persons, designers, operations administrators, and other specialists who work for Candu Energy Inc. (formerly Atomic Energy of Canada Limited (AECL) Candu division) in Mississauga, Ontario and abroad (excluding AECL Chalk River Laboratories).

Certified in 1974

Certified by the Canadian Industrial Relations Board in 1974, SPEA is one of the oldest professional unions in Canada. Collectively, we represent most of Canada's nuclear power reactor design expertise. In November 2023, SPEA entered into a trial affiliation with Unifor as Local 7474.

We call on AtkinsRéalis Group Inc. (previously known as SNC-Lavalin Group Inc.) to immediately reinstate our terminated union President, cease retaliation against union supporters and respect labour rights for all members!

We Stand With Mark.

Please don’t hesitate to contact any of us directly. Any concerns you have will be kept strictly confidential.
