ARTICLE 2: STATEMENT OF PRINCIPLES – 12. UNION RENEWAL AND GENERATIONAL CHANGE -WITHDRAWN
12. The strength and dynamism of Unifor, at all levels, is based on union renewal. How the structures and practices of the union evolve over time; how the union is open to and receives new ideas, and how the union renews its leadership by making space for the next generation. Generational change is essential for union renewal. As such it is the expectation and desire of the union that all national officers, regional directors, local union officers and staff voluntarily retire from their position at age 65 or before.

Generational change is essential for union renewal. As such it is the expectation and desire of the union that all national officers, regional directors, local union officers and staff voluntarily retire from their position at age 65 or before.
Upon retirement, Unifor members will be encouraged to participate in union activism through Retired Workers Chapters and Councils.
