Actually, the steps are not very complicated. Our people have been given training for years on various aspects of regulations, both provincial and federal. Our union has people who are experts on those matters.
In addition, Local 1976 specializes in transportation and handles most of our unionized rail companies. We provide training in Ottawa with experts. If required, we dissect the regulations for a week so that we are able to provide our members with adequate tools to make sure they are safe.
We have been taking a stand against various situations for a long time. In 2007, for example, we sent to a committee a situation in which trains were travelling at high speed when our members were working right beside. We made representations to the employers about it. Today, we are making a presentation to you. So we do whatever we can to try to work in safety so that earning a living does not cost us our lives.
