Thank you, Mr. Speaker. If the UNW employees do not ratify the agreement that they're supposed to set out this week or next week and they vote no, it will mean that we'll have to move to mediation. Mediation takes 21 days. I've made it abundantly clear to the union and the union has made it clear to us that there is no other room for any further compromise or additional dollars, so a no vote would mean the inevitability of a strike. Thank you.
