The BoD refused - Navigar will already be presented by another Committee/Staff. Thomas submitted a communiqué to the President who will review it and let the PRQC know what to focus on in the future. The president mentioned that our staff resources being in the bargaining department may have indirectly led the Committee to focus on bargaining issues.
