Workers' Comp is a Right Campaign Launch
September 11, 2017
When workers are injured or made ill on the job, they have a right to full compensation. They have a right to be treated with dignity and respect, and to be provided with the support they need to get back on their feet.
But the cutting edge of austerity in Ontario means those rights are being violated. The WSIB is singularly focused on reducing its own costs on the backs of injured workers, and the numbers are staggering. From 2009 to 2015, total benefits costs were slashed by nearly $1.58-billion, while some 46% of injured workers with a permanent disability are living at or near the poverty line.
