Wayne was hurt at work in 2012. It took seven surgeiries and more than a decade of fighting to get his #WISB benefits, and how he will but cut off again when he reaches age 65. Hear Wayne's story and learn what you can do to help here: buff.ly/Ql1zwLK

Wayne is a sprinkler-fitter who injured his shoulder in 2012 and was sent back to work on painkillers. 7 surgeries and 11 years of fighting later, he again faces his benefits being cut off when he turns 65. Find out more at linktr.ee/RightsDontRetire #RightsDontRetire

Please take one minute to write the Minister of Labour and your MPP and ask them to end #WSIB age discrimination and older injured worker poverty, using the simple tool at buff.ly/nVkVAdP

Ontario Network of Injured Worker Groups @oniwg.bsky.social · 26/03/2026

Did you know #WSIB cuts injured worker benefits off at age 65, whether they planned on working longer or not? Did you know those workers lost all their CPP contributions while they were injured, and will live in poverty? Hear our stories and write your MPP by visiting buff.ly/4dU72bk

Ontario Network of Injured Worker Groups @oniwg.bsky.social · 26/03/2026

Julie was badly injured while working at a cafe. She had to fight #WSIB for years to get benefits, then they cut her off because of her age. Help us end WSIB Age discrimination by watching Julie's video and writing your MPP. Visit linktr.ee/RightsDontRetire to do both. #RightsDontRetire

Ontario Network of Injured Worker Groups @oniwg.bsky.social · 25/03/2026

Did you know that #InjuredWorkers lose their wage loss benefits at age 65 even if they planned to work longer? Did you know that they lose their pension contributions for the entire time that they are unable to work? If a work injury leaves you unable to work for life, that should not mean poverty.

Marv is an injured worker hurt in 2010. He hasn’t worked for over fifteen years as a result of his injury, and WSIB's age discrimination will ensure he ages in poverty. We're sharing injured worker stories at tinyurl.com/RightsDontRe...

For most injured workers in Ontario, compensation for the wages lost due to work related injury or illness stops at age 65, regardless if they wanted or needed to keep working. The Minister of Labour has promised change. Now it’s time for action. #RightsDontRetire #WorkersDeserveBetter

We have some questions for the #WSIB and Minister of Labour. Help us deliver them this Monday. Toronto rally at Ministry of Labour at 400 University.  Thunder Bay rally at MPP Lise Vaugeois office, 2727 Park Street

An old fashioned paper scroll has the following list, labelled the 12 whys of Workplace Safety and Insurance Board Christmas.

1. What does WSIB hand over billions to our bosses while injured workers live in poverty?
2. Why are migrant workers kicked out of the country and cut off benefits when they are hurt?
3. Why can WSIB pretend I’m employed when I can’t find a job, and take my benefits away?
4. Why can WSIB get away with creating so much stress and mental health problems for injured workers?
5. Why are employers able to get away with breaking the law by lying, hiding, and suppressing our claims?
6. Why are taxpayers shouldering the burden when injured workers have been denied or deemed by the WSIB?
7. Why do WSIB benefits expire at age 65, even though we know many workers in Ontario have to work beyond that age?
8. Why is WSIB putting the burden of work injury so heavily on families? Why are they stealing Christmas from our kids?

And four more questions.

¡Exigimos justicia para los trabajadores lesionados!
El WSIB roba miles de millones a los trabajadores lesionados para regalárselos a las grandes empresas
¿Por qué obligan a los trabajadores lesionados a vivir en la pobreza?
¿Por qué expulsan del país a los trabajadores migrantes después de una lesión ocupacional?
¿Por qué deben los contribuyentes cargar con el costo de lugares de trabajo inseguros?
¿Por qué el beneficio de WSIB expira a los 65?

We've got a lot of questions to ask about the WSIB this holiday season. Join us Monday at 11am to help us deliver The 12 "Whys" of WSIB Christmas. Toronto • Ministry of Labour • 400 University.  Thunder • MPP Lise Vaugeois office • 2727 Park Street

An old fashioned paper scroll has the following list, labelled the 12 whys of Workplace Safety and Insurance Board Christmas.

The questions relate to topics like WSIB rebates to employers, migrant worker issues, deeming, mental health, claim suppression, older injured workers, ignoring doctors, universal coverage, raising the rates, and more. Some questions include:

1. What does WSIB hand over billions to our bosses?
3. Why can WSIB pretend I’m employed when I can’t find a job, and take my benefits away?
5. Why are employers able to get away with breaking the law by lying, hiding, and suppressing our claims?
7. Why do WSIB benefits expire at age 65, even though we know many workers in Ontario have to work beyond that age?
8. Why are they stealing Christmas from our kids?
9. Why can WSIB ignore the advice of my own doctor who knows me best?
11. Why can bad employers use temp agencies to avoid paying their WSIB premiums?
12. Why aren’t all workers covered by WSIB?
