Okay.
The concern we have is that it should be up to the union to decide if there should be a merge like that. The membership, when they're certified, should make a decision as to which union they want to go with. It shouldn't be left in the hands of the government, the minister or the employer to make this decision.
These members want to be represented by a certain labour union, and there's a reason for that. This should be left in the hands of the members, not in the hands of the employers.
What would happen, as we have seen provincially in other jurisdictions, is that you would end up having a vote between unions. You then end up having members who wanted to be represented by a specific union but who now have to join a union they did not vote on and did not want to have.
