Steve McCuaig, National Labour Relations Officer
I started as a Shop Steward in 1999 and I’ve been developing my Labour Relations skills ever since, including obtaining a college certificate in Human Resources Management that I completed in 2009. Soon after becoming Shop Steward, I was elected President of my Local, and in 2008, I was elected National Executive Vice-President of the Canada Employment and Immigration Union. Six years later, I was elected President, but decided to walk away after six months because of the toxic environment of that office. In 2015, I began to work for Canada Post as a Labour Relations Advisor until January 2022 when I was offered the position of National Labour Relations Officer for the CPAA.
