Resolution No. 14 Increase the Death Benefit
Unifor National Will:
- Lobby the various levels of government to increase the death benefit from $2500 to $5000 and make it non-taxable.
- Unifor lobbies provincial labour federations to organize a national campaign for an enhanced tax- free death benefit.
Because:
- The amount of the death benefit has not changed for many
- The amount of $2500 should be used to pay for a decent
- The cost of funeral expenses in 1998 varied from $2500 to $5000.
- The cost today varies between $5000 to $10,000.
