PSAC Bans Local Leader Ahead of Election | Calgary News

PSAC just slapped a lifetime ban on local president Theo Lagakos—right before his re-election—over alleged misconduct, though details remain murky. With 1,200 casino workers under his leadership, Lagakos says the move follows a trusteeship imposed by national leadership after his local flirted with aligning with a rival group, risking $200K in dues and shifting power. The Ontario Labour Relations Board is now weighing the trusteeship’s legality, while critics see this as PSAC silencing dissent. It’s not the first time the union has clashed internally over control, money, and solidarity—highlighting how even big unions struggle to balance diverse priorities.
