L E A D I N G T H E W AY ON DECOMMISSIONING
MYSTIC POWER PLANT In May 2021, Mystic 7 in Everett shut down after more than 45 years in service. Our highly trained members worked on decommissioning the power plant. During this process, professionals dismantle and withdraw the power plant's nuclear capabilities by removing hazardous nuclear fuel from the reactor to neutralize the site safely and completely. UWUA Local 369 members Rick Cross, Bob Kiklis, Mike Quinn, and Charles Oliver completed the decommissioning project in late August. They worked carefully to prevent the power plant's waste tanks from dangerously impacting the surrounding environment. As a result, our members decommissioned Mystic 7 safely and efficiently. We held productive bargaining sessions and added four (4) CCOs to the Mystic 8 and 9 bargaining units. We also found positions for everyone who wanted to continue working with the company. Members who planned to retire received a year's salary and health care benefits while collecting their pension. Thank you to all involved for your hard work on this project!
