after struggling to become an independent the small union faced a number of challenges. there were disputes with larger unions such as the iuoe, which continued to represent engineers at many workplaces in ontario and canadian union of public employees (cupe). the cuoe was a founding member of the ccu, confederation of canadian unions, started around 1968. the worst dispute occurred in 1972. the union continued to operate plants at ontario hydro during a strike involving the power workers union (cupe 1000). this dispute can be seen as management at ontario hydro using one union against another. after the strike any worker who left the cuoe to work at other ontario hydro plant lost his seniority. it was a long and bitter strike. before the strike the cuoe was a strong union in ontario hydro power station operations, but the power workers union (pwu) would emerge the ultimate winner, to represent workers in nuclear and other plants going forward. some cuoe workers who crossed picket lines to operate stations such as, lakeview generating station, and other locations received management jobs at hydro head office and never returned to the cuoe. it has been called "one of the most unfortunate chapters in canadian labour history" by labour leaders what happened in 1972, events both management and the union at ontario hydro (opg) would prefer to forget. for the cuoe, it was the beginning of the decline of the canada's "engineers union". the greatest setback for the cuoe was the closing of the r.l. hearn and j.c. keith stations by ontario hydro in the early 1980s.
