Union leaders have *clout* in NAFTA

So unions ARE playing a role in NAFTA negotiations.

From the article:

After unions played a role in ousting the Harper government in 2015, Dias said the Liberal government appears to understand the influence of the labour movement in politics.
"I think they understand that labour is not just a nuisance; that we actually have a voice, we represent millions of people and we're going to play a big role in the politics of the country," he said. "They have a choice. They can exclude us and then we will exclude them, or they can include us."
So, no need for elections anymore, people. Organized labour will tell us the way it's gonna go.

Wow. Just wow.
