He notified the national executive board of his departure on Friday, just over a month after going on medical leave. Dias is 63-years-old and he had served as the National President of the union for just over eight years.
“After eight and a half years I can proudly say we have built an incredible organization and made Unifor the influential and successful union it is today. I have all the confidence the leadership, staff and locals will continue to build Unifor into a bold and progressive force for working people from coast to coast to coast.”
His retirement is effective immediately.
