Workers’ Comp is a Right!
Join us for a province-wide week of action from December 10th to the 14th, and take a stand for fairness for injured workers!
In Toronto, we’re kicking the week off with a rally on Monday, December 10th at 11:30am outside the Ministry of Labour located at 400 University Avenue - view map for directions.

This year, the conservative government and WSIB have been the Grinch trying to steal workers’ compensation. They’ve teamed up to give employers a $1.5 billion gift, in the form of a massive reduction to their premium rates – that’s the money that’s needed to provide compensation for people who need it. Meanwhile, injured workers are struggling with poverty and homelessness.
Workers’ Comp Is A Right, and Injured Workers Need Real Healthcare!
