I knew and collaborated many years with Ed both as president of the Federation of Labour and as a political activist. I first met him as a young trade unionist looking for a unionized printer to do work for us. Over the years I was able to learn from many great political discussions with him and he helped mold my political views. His loss is certainly going to be felt by his family but also a number of trade unionists of a certain generation. My condolences go out to his family and his community. - Posted by: Susan Hart-Kulbaba (friend) on: Jan 31, 2018
