National Chairperson Dave Cassidy said "this was a wonderful council with great speakers,” adding that he was honoured to be acclaimed as chair. Cassidy has held this position since 2008.
“More and more skilled trades of Unifor are joining our council and since our forming of Unifor trades from across the country are reaching out to us to put on our presentation,” Cassidy said.
The skilled trades council sets policies and procedures relative to skilled trades of Unifor and has many delegates that sit on various trade boards and jurisdictions across the country.
