It's exactly the type of biography we don't need. This guy is president of a single local of a union. That is the only thing that makes him the least bit notable; and his name is only in the news right now because his local is in labour negotiations. This time next month, nobody will be interested in him -except of course for the same people who have been trashing him thus far.
He's been the president of that union, which represents all transport workers in Toronto and is frequently in the news, since 2005, and he's been in the news multiple times every year since then. The article in question was created /in 2006/, so he hardly just became notable with the current incident.
