Less than 20%. Okay.

Thank you. That helps me with my question.

I know that the trucking association has raised a number of concerns. I've also met with them in my office.

I'm a bit puzzled here. I know that your percentage is very low in terms of unionized workers. I also realize that with our ever-aging market, it is becoming more and more difficult to find workers. I know that your industry has a terrible problem finding extra workers, even to fill the demand you presently have.

If there were a strike, how would you manage to get replacement workers when you can't even get workers at the moment?
