The Unifor Education Department is currently working with the Health, Safety and Environment Department on developing new compensations courses for our members from coast to coast to coast.
We understand the importance of our advocates being educated on current compensation statutes, board policies and procedures that govern injured workers in the workplace.
Our new courses will provide the tools to ensure our members are properly represented.
The past few decades have seen inadequate premium rates imposed on employers; workers have seen cuts to compensation and benefits while the board’s management receives bonuses. The most concerning is the board’s relentless drive to push workers back into the workforce despite the medical assessment of a worker’s injury. They appear to be more concerned with meeting the labour needs of employers than providing healthcare to workers.
We must strive to offset the power imbalance between worker and employer, and compensation systems that could deny us benefits.
Watch for the scheduling of these new courses on our website.
