"We are deeply saddened to hear of the passing of our Local 508-Halifax, NS, President/Business Agent Shane O’Leary. Brother O’Leary stood as a beacon of solidarity, dedicating his life to the pursuit of justice for the rights of our Local 508 members and tirelessly advocating for the dignity of every worker. Shane leaves behind a legacy of advocacy on behalf of our Union, and his influence will live on through those who were privileged to work alongside him and benefit from his leadership. He will be deeply missed. Our thoughts and prayers are with his family and our Local 508 members. Rest in Power, Brother." - ATU International President John Costa
