I know what I am talking about.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5679999\" data-originallang=\"fr\">When we were on one side of the table and we told the employer what was important to the union members, they asked us what we would do if our demands were not met. If we did not have the employees behind us there was nothing we could do.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5680000\" data-originallang=\"fr\">In this case, the government is taking these pressure tactics away from the union. The workers' hands are tied.</p>",
