Mr. Chair, there are presently 242 outstanding grievances. I think a large part of the problem is that the employees have been filing grievances at the highest level. There’s no opportunity to resolve grievances when they’re filed at the third level, so it all has to be handled through arbitration. As such, it takes time and is something we’ll have to work with the union on to try to bring this down to a manageable level. The union has indicated they’re prepared to spend time to bring the numbers down.
