Thank you.
Change is always stressful for any organization. They like to hit us with oxymorons like “one of the fixed principles of leadership is flexibility”. We're all challenged by that, of course.
Another issue is the signing of this contract with the unionized employees. I understand it was under negotiation for half a year or more, with some difficult though apparently unidentified concerns.
I wonder if you can confirm that this contract was signed by management--I believe it was Ms. Cloutier--probably very shortly after the unfortunate demise of Monsieur Beauregard, without any consultation with the board.
