Dan Morris – Ball Packaging
Dan Morris – Ball Packaging
Dan is a unionized industrial worker at Ball Packaging Products in Whitby. For decades, Dan has consistently protected and advocated for his co-workers every day at work. He first became a steward and quickly progressed to Plant Chairperson for the union 14 years ago, a post he has served in ever since.
Dan goes out of his way to fight for the health and safety of the members, often dedicating time outside of working hours to serve the membership. During particularly cold days this past February, for example, he worked diligently with the union and the employer to ensure the health and well-being of his co-workers.
“A lot of people might be too shy to stand up for their rights,” says Dan, “That’s why I feel a duty and obligation to stand up for them. The union is a big reason I’ve dedicated my career to working at Ball Packaging. My role as Plant Chairperson is to ensure the collective agreement is enforced and the members always feel supported by their union”.
