The June 20 meeting will focus on Taking Action to oppose the WSIB Cuts to the appeal system. KPMG in its Value for Money Audit recommended to put in place a 30 day time limit on appeals (plus other barriers to injured workers). The WSIB has agreed with these recommendations and are holding a consultation as they move forward. See WSIB consultation details] and the letter to the WSIB from the Ontario Legal Clinics’ Workers Compensation Network responding to these regressive moves.
