We regret to tell you that Robert Waddell, president of the Ontario Council of Hospital Unions has died. Robert was president from 1987-1990 and under his leadership CUPE hospital workers received wage increases of 8 per cent and 7 per cent in a two year agreement.
Robert was a long time employee of Health Sciences North in Sudbury. He was a constituency assistant to Sudbury’s MPP for many years. He will be greatly missed by his family and by a grateful OCHU membership.
