In this new episode, titled “WSIB’s Age Discrimination”, IWC staff lawyer Tebasum Durani interviews legal experts (and co-workers) John McKinnon and Chris Grawey about one of the ways WSIB policies and practices create poverty, focusing specifically on what happens when workers turn 65.
The interview lays out the problems faced by injured workers as they approach retirement age, the solutions to that problem.
While the policies in question apply to workers as they turn 65, it is an issue that affects anyone with a work acquired injury or illness, regardless of age.
