It depends in what respect, but it would certainly make things easier if the real decision-makers were at the bargaining table rather than a port authority, which ultimately manages human resources, enforces discipline, and so forth.

The problem is that the real decision-makers, the boards of directors and the companies, are not at the bargaining table, which complicates matters. In addition, a change in culture in staff relations is needed, and I think the port authorities know that.

A consultation committee could be a first step, but a much stronger commitment will be needed.
