President of IWA Fraser Valley quits national post By Bruce Constantineau, Vancouver Sun
Ghag's Resignation Sends up Red Flags Instead of Hope ufcw Members for Democracy
Sonny Ghag, controversial President of IWA Local 3567 has resigned from his post as a Vice President of IWA Canada.
In an apologetic letter to IWA Canada President Dave Haggard, Ghag acknowledged that he embarrassed the union in a recent incident where he angrily denounced members of another IWA local as 'scabs' and stated that he will be consulting with members of Local 3567's Executive Board to decide whether he will stay on a President of the Local.
The IWA has been mired in controversy for months, since the B.C. Hospital Employees Union accused the 55,000 member biz union of raiding its members and facilitating provincial government privatization plans.
