The latest version of the Disability Guide for Shop Stewards is available below. The Corportion’s decision to replace sick leave with a system by which private,for-profit companies manage our health concerns can be time consuming, confusing and hard to navigate.
We hope this booklet, designed to assist stewards and local officers in providing support to members, helps ensure successful outcomes with the least amount of delays.
The document, designed with a “frequently asked questions” format, has tips for working with members, while dealing with management and caseworkers. It also helps members traverse the different steps through the short-term disability program to the long-term disability program, if required.
