Would you agree that the two sides need to sit down together and work towards finding some common ground?
That's what has to happen if any real progress is to be made in the long term, not for one, two, or three years. We don't want to see the same problems in two or three years' time. The future of bargaining and the working relationship between the parties are on the line. That's where efforts are needed.
I need to feel that both management and the union are working towards that, as opposed to sticking to their guns without understanding the other side. My impression so far—and we'll see how this translates in the report—is that you are pitted against one another and not at all on the same side. I think that's a shame. Everyone loves Canada Post. That's the beauty of the situation. We witnessed that on our trip across the country.
