MFUR President Paul Moist made two presentations on May 7 to the Manitoba Standing Committee on Social and Economic Development on Bill 24, The Workers Compensation Amendment Act and Bill 29, The Workplace Safety and Health Amendment Act.
Bill 24: Bill 24 proposes that in cases of a workplace fatality where there is not a surviving spouse or common-law partner to receive the lump sum fatality payment it can be paid to the worker's estate or to another person as determined by the WCB. It also introduces a “benefit of doubt” principle for WCB claim adjudication.
Bill 29: Bill 29 proposes significant changes to enhance workplace safety and health standards.
