Injured Worker Day of Action

|

ONIWG is organizing a province-wide Injured Worker Day of Action.

Injured workers and their allies will be taking to the streets to tell the province and the WSIB that enough is enough. Workers Compensation Is A Right. Now, more than ever. …. Read full ONIWG letter and check out province-wide Facebook event

The past year has seen:

  • WSIB premiums cut by 30%, giving billions of dollars back to wealthy employers while injured workers’ continue to face benefit cuts.
  • The government’s launch of a secretive review of WSIB and refusal to rule out privatization – which would further put injured workers at risk.
  • Cuts to the budget of Legal Aid Ontario by 36%. Legal Aid provides many important services to injured workers, seniors, tenants facing eviction, people social assistance, and more.
