Yes, I was aware that he announced that on December 14. I was thrilled; I was relieved. To me, that is something that is way overdue. It's needed big time. I don't know what other adjectives I can come up with.
The reason I came here is because I did read the information on the Internet about this committee and I felt that this committee can be very constructive. I'm hoping that positive change can come out of this for everyone. To me, it's not just a matter of safety for me, for the workers, or for the public; it's also a matter that you operate safer, it's more profitable for the company to.... I just don't understand their logic of what they're at. It's like B.C. Rail. As efficient as they were, we workers could always see they could be better. Because they could be better, we were always pushing them. We ended up being the most productive railway in North America, number one. That was because we all worked together.
I don't understand this poisoned work environment. I don't see how it's profitable.
