Robert Kornhass ~ Secretary-Treasurer and Principal Officer

Brother Bob started his career in the 1990s as a worker at Dairyworld, the largest employer of Local 464. His fellow workers, fed up with the lack of union representation, encouraged him to run for office. Winning the most overall votes, he was elected to the Business-Representative position.

Entering office, he set about spearheading the first strike in our Local’s history and thus negotiated, for our Original Cakerie members, one of the best contracts in their industry.

Steve Lee ~ Vice-President

Brother Lee is a second generation, Teamster. He has worked at Island Farms/Agropur for 32 years, holding various positions in his time there, and is currently Head Checker on the Case Dock. Brother Lee has been a Shop Steward since 2016 and has served on the contract negotiation committee. In his spare time, Steve enjoys playing hockey and golf.

Terry Inouye ~ Trustee

Brother Inouye has been working as a Driver for Island Farms/Agropur for over 16 years. He became Shop Steward in 2012. He has served as part of the contract negotiating team and is also currently an active member of the Health and Safety Committee at Burnaby Agropur. Terry is a family oriented husband and father of two. He is active in his children’s sports teams and is a hockey and lacrosse coach.

Testimonial

"I have been a member of Teamsters Local 464 for 23 years and have seen many of the executives come and go. Some of the previous executives nearly ran the Local into bankruptcy including losing our pension. Bobby Kornhass, Bob Ryder and Paul Barton brought us back from the brink. Since they took over in 2000, we at Dairyland (Saputo) have had the best contracts I have seen since I have been there."

- Randy Onyschak

“I look after a lot of members in a very big plant. For years I had to fight for them by myself with no help at all from any of the Union’s representatives or Officers. This changed completely once Bobby, Bob and Paul were in office. Now I have access to my reps 24 hours a day, 7 days a week! They’re always there to back me up.”

- Darrell Lawres – Chief Shop Steward. Saputo, Sperling

"I was employed for many years at a Teamster company that was shut down due to the economy. Because of my age, I was worried about starting over. Bobby, Bob and Paul not only negotiated a much better severance package than was in the contract, but they also went the extra mile and got me on at one of their other companies with an even better contract.They continued to help me even though it wasn't their job to."
