The huge municipal union known as CUPE 79 is struggling with allegations of under-the-table payoffs between its two top executives as described below in a tweet Wednesday from the Toronto Star. They are David Mitchell and Jason Chan. CUPE 79 members serve as nurses, planners, clerks, social service employees, cleaners, court services staff, ambulance dispatchers, child care worker,s and many other occupations.
CUPE National asked for the resignations after being informed by OMERS that it had probed concerns that Chan — who sat on the OMERS “Sponsors Corporation” board — had been forwarding a portion of his $46,000 “annual retainer” for board duties to Mitchell.https://t.co/0P6i3CjWMQ
