Privacy Policy
The forest industry contains some of the most dangerous jobs in Canada. Unfortunately, every year a number of our members are injured or become ill and are unable to work. The Long Term Disability (LTD) Plan provides benefits to members who have been unable to work for more than six months.

Thanks to aggressive rehabilitation programs, more and more people are getting back to work sooner. The early intervention program identifies workers who would benefit from rehabilitation counselling before they come onto LTD.  Since the start of the early intervention program, for members who do return to work, their return to work was accelerated on average by two months.

Our LTD Benefits Clerks and Rehabilitation Counsellors are reachable by phone, fax, email or regular mail to answer questions about how to apply for LTD, or the requirements of a rehabilitation program. Please choose CONTACT US from the main menu to get in touch with them.
