What outreach has been conducted for them?

I think the the principal outreach we've done is to work with representative organizations about these rights and to and to maintain those channels of dialogue with them.

Again, I I think after after that law was passed a few years ago.

Those organizations were successful in in putting together a a new collective bargaining agreement that offered analogous protections or better protections.

But again, we're always want to be vigilant on that ensuring that employers are complying with the law.
