Thank you.
I'll come back to a comment that the minister made about how this isn't the Canada Post of years past. One thing that Canada Post is paying for right now, with interest, is the decision to deny Canada Post workers their sick leave during a previous rotating strike and subsequent lockout, when they were legislated back to work. After years of significant cost to the union representing those workers, and to the corporation itself, an arbitrator determined that actually there was an acquired or vested right to those benefits, and the company was not within its rights to deny those benefits.
We've seen something similar happen with respect to the short-term disability plan. There are many people who worked there in 2011 and who work there today, and they span that whole period. When they look at what happened in 2011 and what's happening now, they see that Canada Post management is adopting the same techniques. They decided to take away sick days, which is what obtained at the time, in 2011, and they decided to go after short-term disability, which replaced those sick days now. When they look at that situation, they don't see what's different. Canada Post has engaged in the same kinds of strike-breaking tactics in 2018 as it did in 2011.
Why don't you explain to those people, who don't see it in their daily work lives, what exactly you think the difference is between Canada Post management techniques in 2011 and Canada Post management techniques today?
