WORKERS’ COMP IS A RIGHT! INJURED WORKERS’ DAY RALLY & MARCH
Despite the epidemic of precarious, unsafe, and toxic work, the WSIB is more concerned with its own bottom line than with protecting the well-being of injured workers. We need to come together and demand our right to compensation. Join us on the streets!
