TORONTO — Former Unifor president Jerry Dias was not charged as the result of an investigation launched last year into allegations that the longtime union leader accepted a bribe, Toronto police said Thursday.
Unifor at the time charged Dias with violating the code of ethics and democratic practices of the union's constitution, and said a hearing would be held before the national executive board.Unifor’s director of legal and constitutional matters Anthony Dale said in a statement Thursday that the union’s own matters relating to Dias have been concluded to its satisfaction and he will no longer be subject to a hearing process under the union’s constitution.
Dias said that these developments “reinforce what I have always known to be true: that over my 45-year career, I have consistently acted with integrity and in the best interests of Unifor members.”“I have never made a dime outside of my salary with Unifor, and I have always lived by the union’s Code of Conduct,” he said.
Dias began a medical leave on Feb. 6, 2022, around a week after being notified about the union's independent investigation into the matter. He was already set to retire that year, but did so early.
