Nothing will erase from my mind's eye the picture of long lines of young women, snaking along the road, in rain or shine going to work in the many, many garment factories to be found all over Dhaka, crammed into every kind of structure, from one time apartments, to tenements to sheds.

Every now and then, colour coded plastic raincoats spoke to the small largesse of some factory management, but on the whole, if it rained they walked soaking. Quietly. Purposively.

This amazing fortitude was also demonstrated in the survival in the recent Rana Plaza tragedy -- which was particularly horrific because it was avoidable.

Ontario's worker's compensation system is under attack. Drastic changes have been proposed, while others have already been implemented. The result of these changes is increased poverty, marginalization and uncertainty for disabled workers.

Please join injuured workers, their advocates, organized labour, migrant workers and others for a fun filled and educational rally that aims to stop the cuts to disabled workers. Stand up to our elected representatives and WSIB officials whose actions have continued to injure and already injured segment of our population.

This is an important part of our social contract, one worth fighting for. After all, we all have the potential to be injured at work.
