April 28th is the National Day of Mourning. A solemn day when we remember those who've been injured, made ill, or killed due to their work & renew our commitment to fight for just recognition of occupational disease @WSIB.

Replying to @MonteMcNaughton
Will you stand up for and beside these workers when they become injured or ill from working in a toxic, and dangerous workplace?

Thank you to @odreform for supporting our demands to make Ontario more affordable for injured and ill workers & our allies, including our demand that #WSIB must stop cutting benefits because of so-called “pre-existing conditions” that didn’t show up until after our accident.

Pleased to be commended for our work by MPP for London North Centre @kernaghant during 2nd reading of Bill 46 'An act to enact one Act and amend various other Acts' (Nov 28, 2022). And for him to describe, alongside other issues with @WSIB, the four improvements proposed by ODRA.

I want to thank Sister Jessica Montgomery (@jessica_usw) for her ongoing WSIB work with workers from Neelon Casting. Unfortunately, 10 more names were added to the Occupational Disease wall at the Leo Gerard Worker’s Memorial. We must do better to prevent workplace cancers!
