Otto Hasibeder, president of the union stated : "This was a long period of reflection for our members beginning last spring. We had higher than usual attendance at five consecutive weekly general assemblies and heard from representatives of FEC-CSQ and FNEEQ-CSN (separately) at two of these meetings.
