    IWA PRESIDENT RESIGNS POSITION;
    UNION LEADERSHIP SUPPORT HAGGARD’S BID FOR MP
    LaborWire - Canada - The Joe Hill Dispatch

    release available at Online@iwa.ca in pdf format

    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE MAY 18, 2004

    BURNABY, BRITISH COLUMBIA - IWA members and other Canadian working families have lost a strong leader with the resignation of president Dave Haggard, but will be the biggest winners should he be elected to Parliament, say the officers of the Industrial, Wood and Allied Workers of Canada (IWA).

    “It is a loss to our organization to lose such a strong leader, but at the same time it is an opportunity for us and for workers in BC and across Canada to gain a voice in Parliament,” said IWA Canada secretary-treasurer Dave Tones. “His working-class perspective and his understanding of industrial and labour issues will advance the cause of all Canadian working people.”
