In her presentation remarks in the sold out Awards venue, NAMMU President, Kathleen Rowe, acknowledged the “..over half million of us who earn our living in the Canadian mailing industry..” and went on to describe NAMMU’s business presence to both parties leading up to and during the negotiations.

Rowe also acknowledged the ground breaking efforts by both parties during the negotiations, as well as the level of pressure on all concerned to come to a balanced conclusion. A conclusion, according to Rowe, that balances the human and business needs of the Corporation, along with its customers’ needs and plans for business growth. Describing Ouellet’s behavior throughout that successful process, she stated: “Grace under extreme pressure describes one attribute we can clearly associate with this individual.”
