Toronto police are investigating the former president of Canada’s largest private-sector union. A spokesperson for the force says the financial crimes unit has begun an investigation into former Unifor boss Jerry Dias (DY’-as). Laura Brabant says the investigation is in its “preliminary stages,” and did not give further details. It comes after Unifor announced it had handed over money Dias allegedly accepted from a supplier of COVID-19 rapid test kits he promoted to members. Unifor has refused to name the supplier. Dias has committed to enter a rehabilitation facility. He’s also said he will temporarily step away from all of his advisory positions due to his use of pain killers, sleeping pills and alcohol to deal with a sciatic nerve issue.
