@WSIB mocks H&S with this video https://t.co/A2hbVtlHuo by overlooking employer's responsibilities re. training, safety equipment, making worker aware of hazards, taking every precaution reasonable to protect worker, etc. @MonteMcNaughton please don't promote WSIB's messages

[OFL @OFLabour]

If Monte McNaughton wants to improve the workers’ compensation system, he must consult with injured & ill workers.

Tell McNaughton to reject the KPMG recommendations: https://t.co/IAprzS3GLe #OnLab #OnPoli @ONIWG

Today an adjudicator @WSIB asked what exposure was being claimed as the link to kidney cancer aggravation for a member of my Union, see @odreform #4 because I’m not limiting the scope of the claim.

[Occupy WSIB @occupywsib]

After today's "Bad Medicine" report exposing @WSIB there is more reason than ever to get out & publicly expose #WSIB & fight for #Rights4All

[Peel Injured Workers @PeelIWG]

Seems to be an assumption at #wsib that you have to have a perfect body, a perfect mind preinjury in order to get a claim accepted

[Peel Injured Workers @PeelIWG]

Prevailing attitude at #wsib is how to deny, not how to help injuredworkers#
