August 19, 2010

Show Synopsis
  • We interview Robert Storey, Associate Professor at McMaster University, School of Labour Studies & Department of Sociology about the recent changes to the WSIB Labour Market Re-entry program.
  • We discuss the pros and cons about the changes, and comment on how the Corporations who are legislated to pay the premiums for workers to the WSIB believe that they should have a say in how workers get rehabilitated after an injury.
  • Workers in 1915 gave up the right to SUE their employers for getting injured on the job, in exchange for an employer paid insurance plan. 
And here are the stories and links we referenced in our broadcast :
