Injured worker’s rights are under attack. Austerity measures, cuts to benefits, and rebates for billionare businesses have forced injured workers deeper into poverty.
This year alone, the same employers who were responsible for unsafe workplace conditions received an additional $2 billion in surplus, ontop of last year’s $2.5 billion. This is absolutely unacceptable as so many injured workers have not received adequate or fair compensation. To make matters worse, injured workers’ benefits are cut off when they turn 65 even if they have a permanet injury. As a result, we launched the Rights Don’t Retire Campaign to bring change and demand justice for older injured workers, but we need your help.
Toronto: December 8th, 11am in front of the Ministry of Labour building at 400 University Ave.
