Winpak Ltd. veteran, Murray Thomas has become the first unionized worker to join the Canadian Plastics Sector Council’s (CPSC) board of directors.
“I feel I can bring some insight into how the people on the floor feel,” Thomas said. “I can supply the board with a worker’s point of view.”
During the past 21 years Thomas has worked at Winpak, a distributor of machinery and materials for manufacturing packaging in Winnipeg, as a photopolymer plate-maker.
Additionally, he has served as president of the Communications, Energy and Paperworks (CEP) Union of Canada, local 830 for the past 18 years .
