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.

The Workplace Safety & Insurance Board (WSIB) is currently implementing an austerity agenda that is attacking what injured, sick and disabled workers are given after a workplaace injury. These cutbacks are being done after the WSIB approved a report by private auditing firm KPMG which has called for drastic changes to be made to Ontario's workers' comepnsation system; changes that are drastically going to hurt Ontario's injured workers, both current and future.

Come out to a free event to hear about the WSIB's austerity plan from legal advocates and activists alike, and learn how to get involved to fight about against the proposed cuts with injured workers and labour. Light refreshments will be provided. 

Currently Ontario's Workers' Compensation Board, the WSIB, is implementing it's own austerity program, and the cuts are coming off of the backs of those who depend on the system: injured workers. Benefits and entitlements are being slashed for this vulnerable population.

This event is to learn about your rights if you are hurt during the course of employment, as well as what is happeneing at the WSIB. PLease come if you are an injured worker or if you have an interest in workers justice issues, public policy or social justice.

This event is open to all and free of charge.
