Sandra from @ODReform reminds us that emplyrs created funding shortages in @WSIB funding by demanding lower premiums.

WSIB fixed the shortages by cutting worker benefits. And now that there's a surplus, it goes back to employers?

We have a lot of hard work ahead of us, but thank you to Justice Singer/Speaker School teacher/Woman of Inspiration Heather for reminding us that we can celebrate our strength in song.

[ONIWG @ONIWG]

Thank you @FolkDawson from @OFLabour for your words of solidarity. Thank you for your reminder that there is no such thing as a @WSIB surplus, there is only money that has been taken from injured workers.

The holidays are not the most wonderful time of the year for everyone. For those forced into poverty by #WSIB and other systems of oppression, it can be a frightening and lonely time.
That's why we must come together to support each other and fight back!

@TorontoStar Labour market is down size from top to bottom. Workers need to learn how to navigate and access limited window of opportunities. We are not ready yet to accept new format of economy. Workers need more supports. We need 24 centuries EI system recognize current precarious market.

Great quote from Sultana @SAWRO_org re: govt’s incremental change approach: “one drop of water in my desert.” Calls for systems change to support precariously employed women - affordable child care, living wage, labour protections & more. #womenxchange2020 #decentwork #onpoli
