The holiday season can be a difficult time for injured workers who have been forced into poverty. We are all only one workplace injury away from relying on WSIB benefits to cover our bills and provide for our families. Meanwhile, WSIB is slashing the benefits injured workers depend on.
It is time to rebuild a workers’ compensation system that treats everyone with dignity and respect. The injured worker outreach blitz is an annual event organized by the Ontario Network of Injured Workers Groups.
