“Proposed WSIB changes will hurt workers, advocates say” (Toronto Star, May 7)
Observers claim workers’ comp is already using pre-existing condition findings to unfairly cut payouts to injured workers. Injured Workers Consultants’ Marion Endicott and Laura Lunansky discuss why workers like William Harris are being denied benefits under cost-cutting changes to policies that fundamentally change the system and could throw thousands of injured workers into poverty. In an open letter to Premier Wynne, the Ontario Network of Injured Workers has also urged the government to intervene.
