Canada's largest private sector union, Unifor, will elect a new president at a convention in Toronto this week
Monday will kick off the start of the union's fourth constitutional convention where elections for Dias' successor, the next secretary-treasurer and regional directors will take place throughout the week.Earlier this year, Dias was charged with violating the code of ethics and democratic practices of the union's constitution.He led the union since 2013 and was reelected in 2016 and 2019.
He had a reputation for being tough-talking, scrappy and willing to push everyone from top companies to politicians to act in workers' best interests, and was a key figure during the negotiation of the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement. He also successfully encouraged General Motors Canada to reopen a plant in Oshawa, Ont., invest up to $1.3 billion and hire up to 1,700 workers after it planned to close the facility.
