Bob Ryder
Brother Bob has been a Teamster since he began at Dairyworld in 1980. Over his many years as a Teamster, Bob served members as a Shop Steward and intervener before being elected Business-Representative in 1999. Since then, Bob has been involved in numerous successful negotiations, grievances and arbitrations.
Brother Ryder was elected to the position of Secretary-Treasurer in 2001. In this role he was instrumental in the very challenging task of turning around Local 464’s finances and restoring the credibility of representation.
Bob is a Trustee on the Teamsters Canada Pension Plan and a Retirement Committee member for its Dairy Division. He has been proactive, joining the Investment and Communications sub-committees, in order to ensure the best possible pension benefits for the membership in this Plan.
Dedicated to providing our members the best service, Bob has continued his education which helped him greatly as Secretary-Treasurer and Business-Representative.
Brother Bob Ryder and Brother Bob Kornhass have successfully worked together to turn this Local around and to provide members with strong, honest representation.
He has been married for over thirty years to wife Diane and has two grown children and four grandchildren.
