Maybe some day an MP will attempt to introduce a bill to give injured workers a chance to seek redress on local soil for the crimes committed by the compensation boards. A bill to make it possible for us to sue for fraudulently denying claims, wit...

Social Justice for the Disabled by Occupation Worker (D/W) & Family Members

" It cannot be said that the Board is independent insofar as the worker is concerned. It is a Board set up to protect the employers. The Board is funded by the employers, and the Board has a duty and probably a primary duty to protect the employer. In relation to the worker, the Board has an overwhelming wealth of knowledge and experience. It has the financial ability to fund sophisticated investigations involving highly qualified experts and have the material presented to them, guided, orchestrated and propounded by its in-house counsel responsible to the Board and paid for by the Board. The application of any standards under the rules of natural justice would identify such circumstances as being unequal in negotiating ability and unfair. This is not a level playing field, it is not fair, and it offends the basic principles of natural justice."
- Justice Maclean - Court of Queen's Bench of Alberta
Wilson v. Medicine Hat (City) [1999] A. J. No. 269 (February 3, 1999)

Lest We Forget October 21, 2009 Edmonton Alberta

A great public awareness window of opportunity was opened for disabled by occupation workers (D/W)'s and we can't allow this window to close.

We must continue to inundate the public, media, politicians and governments at both levels, of the atrocities the WCBs perpetrate on D/W's, especially those that have permanent disabilities

About

Pete Pete created this Ning Network.
A Doctor Writes:

"I experienced some feeling of pressure from the WCB in relation to one of my cases. After submitting my report, I received a letter from Dr. Kevin A. Bourke, Medical Adviser, Central North Shore, informing me that he would not process the invoice for my fee unless I edited my report to conform to his desires. Fortunately, unbeknownst to him, I had already received my fee. I, of course, did not edit my report. But I did inform him of the rationale for the recommendations that I had made. I might say that I was somewhat affronted that a WCB staff member would request that an independent professional change her report in order to conform to the board's wishes and in particular, threaten to withhold payment."

Dr. Bourke is currently (as of 2006) Chair and Chief Examiner of the College of Physicians and Surgeons of Nova Scotia's Clinician Assessment for Practice Program (CAPP) Examination Committee, which evaluates international medical graduates for defined licensure in Nova Scotia.

Health

HEALTH, (the negative social determinants of population and mental health), is the 'achilles heel' of the of the workplace safety insurance board and the all the other compensation boards across Canada.

Write your respective Minister's of Labour and ask why the provincial government is complicit in allowing further physical, mental, psychological and emotional harm come to disabled workers.

Always speak your heart.
