May 31st - Injured Workers’ Vigil – An evening of culture & solidarity 8:30pm
June 1st – Injured Workers’ Day - Online rally & town hall 10:00am – Online Rally 11:00am – Town hall
Injured Workers’ day commemorates June 1st 1983 when over three thousand injured workers descended on Queen’s Park and forced a government committee looking at major changes Ontario’s workers’ compensation system to conduct a public hearing on the steps of the Legislature.
This year, join Workers’ Comp Is A Right and allies from the Ontario Federation of Labour, Steelworkers, CUPE, for a morning of rallying cries, calls to action, songs/skits, and messages for the government that will be elected on June 2nd.
Then stick around at 11am, where anyone in attendance will be invited to answer the question: What do you want the government elected tomorrow to do for injured workers?
