“I believe unionized labour is about membership, representation and transparency. A union is only as strong as its representation — its sole purpose is to serve and to protect the members and their interests. A union is a brotherhood and a sisterhood where all of its members work together for their common betterment. A unionized workforce means a workforce that is well trained, motivated and safe.”
Steven’s hobbies include boxing, studying Japanese (to speak with his Japanese nephews) and following the Toronto Maples Leafs.
