That's a good question, thank you. In the 18 years that I've worked at the post office, we had rotating strikes once. We have been locked out by the corporation one time, and although the public often thinks that we go on strike all the time, and they confuse whether or not a lockout is a strike—and I try to explain that to people all the time—just twice recently the corporation threatened to lock us out in June. We had taken a strike vote, and voted largely in favour of a strike if we were going to continue to see a reduction in services and in our benefits and pensions, etc. We never did strike. What we did is we said that we were going to refuse to work overtime, which many carriers are forced to do on a daily basis in many centres.
