Approximately 400 professional engineers and technical staff Located at MDRobotics in Brampton and at the David Florida Laboratories in Ottawa have been on strike since Friday according to SPAR Professional and Allied Technical Employee’s Association (SPATEA).
The timing of the strike is not good for MDA as they are in the middle of responding to several key request for proposals the Canadian Space Agency recently released and for which the deadlines for submissions are only three weeks away.
