Retired postal worker, Lyons, is an avid community activist and former president of CUPW Local 630 and WDLC executive.

“Phil’s creativity, leadership and tireless efforts in the community elevated the work he was doing as a postal worker president to new heights” Tish Glenn, Canadian Union of Postal Workers, Windsor Local 630 President.

He raised the bar for Postal Workers to contribute to the United Way by sharing his own personal stories. “Phil Lyons was instrumental in strengthening the relationship between CUPW Local 630 and United Way/Centraide Windsor-Essex County”, says Lorraine Goddard, CEO, United Way. “A true champion of both the labour and United Way movements, Phil advocates this collective strength to make positive change and improve the lives of people in our community.”
