I'm updating a chapter in a book on the social determinants of health and
can't find more recent information on unionization and fringe benefits. I
want to update the following information:
"Most unionized workers are covered by sick-leave provisions protecting them
from loss of income when absent from work because of sickness; the majority
of non-union members are not. A 1999 Statistics Canada survey revealed that
83.7 percent of union members were covered by a supplementary medical plan,
76.3 percent by a dental plan, 78.2 percent by liability and disability
insurance, and 79.9 percent by an employer pension plan. The comparable
rates for non-union members were 45.4, 42.6, 40.8 and 26.6 percent
(Akyeampong 2002: 42-46)."
Does anyone know of more recent data?
Thanks, Lynne
