Windsor injured workers’ rally

December 15, 2015

“Injured workers protest outside WSIB Office” / Sharon Hill (Windsor Star, Dec. 15, 2015)

Mother of injured worker joins  in rally organized by Windsor & District Labour Council and ONIWG outside the WSIB’s Windsor offices: What Stacey Modolo was hearing about complaints by  injured workers that the Workplace Safety and Insurance Board doesn’t listen to doctors’ recommendations echoes her daughter’s experience in getting the Board to recognize her claim. Speakers at the demo included Liz Garant and Rolly Marentette.  Joining them were local politicians MP Tracey Ramsey and Essex MPP Taras Natyshak. Adding his voice to the call for an Ombudsman investigation, Natyshak told the rally people get so frustrated they give up and in many cases end up on social assistance. “They don’t have the ability, the capacity to appeal their claims when denied. They feel re-victimized and they feel stigmatized because they’re not looked at as injured workers but a liability to the system.”
