On the worry, I don't even think I quite have words, frankly. I'm a worker who was locked out in 2005, and I have bargained against Telus since then once I became president. There's not much of a hammer, quite frankly. Unions typically want to “rah-rah” their members and say no to concessions, but honestly, that's all we ever take, and we have no choice because not only will we be replaced by scabs, but they will probably not ever have us back.
As Brother Hancock said, there's going to be a resolution at the end, but when you have the ability to offshore everything, I don't know that there will ever be a resolution. That hurts all of our constituents across the country and that hurts our economies and our communities. It hurts all Canadians—it just does. There's no coming back from it.
We need this legislation and it needs to be fixed as soon as possible.
