2017 Justice for Injured Workers Bike Ride
(firmenpresse) - TORONTO, ONTARIO -- (Marketwired) -- 05/23/17 -- Once again, in May 2017 injured workers will be riding to focus attention on the plight of injured workers and their right to compensation for work-related injuries and illnesses, and to defend a system that reflects "Full Compensation/No Half Measures".
The message the cyclists intend to deliver is in response to growing number of injured workers whose benefits are slashed and are being downloaded onto welfare systems. Many injured workers, when denied fair compensation, are downloaded onto welfare systems where they struggle to gain access to shelter, a liveable income, accessible and caring workplaces and respect. The denying of compensation benefits to workers injured on the job results in many injured workers relying on short term disability, Canada Pension, Ontario Disability Service Programs (ODSP) and also results in poverty for these workers.
We know that we are entitled to a compensation system that works in the best interests of injured workers; a system that guarantees a life of dignity for injured workers and prevents us from falling into poverty, despair and exclusion. The cyclists ride for fair compensation; ''rights for all'', as women workers, immigrant workers, and union and non-union workers.
Support this bike ride by joining the cyclists as they pass through your community.
