Hi there, I am a unionized worker but was wondering if this was something you could answer. If I got on short term disability or go on EI sickness, am I still able to apply for other jobs and leave if I get a new position (understanding
of course that I would no longer receive benefits)?

You may run into issues with an STD insurer if you do so as they may deem you capable of working, and thus ineligible for benefits. You should talk with your union representative or benefit provider to get more information.
