Injured Workers' Day - June 1st, 2024.
On June 1st every year, Injured Workers’ Day is an opportunity to recognize the individuals who have suffered injuries and fatalities as a result of their workplace conditions, but it is also a time to rally and celebrate the gains made through united action, raise current concerns, and remind governments we cannot be ignored. The day commemorates June 1st, 1983 when over three thousand injured workers forced a government committee looking at major changes to Ontario’s workers’ compensation system to conduct a public hearing on the steps of the Legislature.
