THUNDER BAY — The province is giving billions of dollars to businesses that labour advocates say should be going to injured workers.
"Ontario is putting more money back into workers’ pockets, keeping costs down for safe businesses and investing in health and safety," the release said. Mantis said the government has refused to move forward to help these workers who get hurt through no fault of their own, doing their job at work. Thunder Bay & District Injured Workers Support Group issued a media release on Thursday in response to the Premier’s announcement.
The release ended by saying, “the WSIB has chosen to make wealthy employers $2.5 billion wealthier as they head into 2025. Shame on them.”
