WSIB protections for lost income cuts people off at the age of 65 even though more people are working past retirement age. Other provinces have re-adjusted legislation. Today @oniwg.bsky.social is calling for Ontario to recognise older workers' rights and this new labourforce reality #CanLab #CdnLab
It's here!
Read the full #RightsDontRetire report now. It details why the #WSIB's arbitrary age 65 cut-off is out of touch with labour market realities and hurts all injured workers.
