People should sign this because everyday an injured worker is being
abused by WSIB. As an injured worker I have been emotionally and
psychologically abused, I have been further injured physically by WSIB
assessments. Financially I have been devastated, we lost everything as a
result of my being injured and WSIB not recognizing the fact I was
unable to work as reported to them by my family Dr and specialists
including my own psychiatrist. I have attempted suicide on more then
one occasion, but one of those was a near fatal attempt during that
time and upon receiving a letter from my doctor explaining the situation
they cut me off for being non compliant. It took 2 years of appealing
to be temp. reinstated only to be put through the psychological abuse
from WSIB once again. I am once again feeling that I would be better
off dead and unsure of my future I am 51 and worked hard all my life. I
was a psych nurse, I never thought I'd ever be left in such an
emotionally messy state. My physical injury is ignored as is the
chronic pain, I lost the ability to perform many tasks pre injury along
with a wonderful career, I go day to day not knowing if I will
physically be able to get out of bed or dress myself, my husband often
has to assist me, I have good days and far more bad days. If that
hasn't been enough to leave me depressed the treatment and the process
of WSIB has created far more psychological damage. I did not ask to be
injured and yet I've been told I am to blame, no one in their right mind
would cheat this system to be put thru what INJURED WORKERS are put
thru by WSIB, not to mention their families. I hate my life, I pray
everyday not wake up, I've lost everything because I was attacked 3 x by
the same patient at Whitby Mental Health, my employer did nothing to
protect me nor did WSIB. WSIB's only goal is not to have anyone on
benefits not what is in the best interest of an injured worker and our
gov't allows it. We have no rights, we as injured workers are no longer
part of Canada's charter of freedoms and rights, WSIB no longer
operates as it was intended as protection for the employee, its been
almost 10 yrs since this nightmare started for me and nothing has ever
been done to help me only hurt me. I am still being threatened and
abused, I am getting worse physically and psychologically and I'm still
having to fight for benefits. If the gov't isn't going to help us get
what we deserve from WSIB then legalize assisted suicide because our
lives are no longer worth living and at least we'd be at peace. We
struggle daily living in poverty as do our families and they watch us
die inside while our shell is forced to endure pain emotionally,
physically, financially. WSIB is murdering Injured Workers and getting away with
it, the stress they create causes heart attacks, strokes and suicides
and they are legally being allowed to do this. Until it happened to me I
never realized what was going on. Canadians need to sign this because
one day it could be you or a loved one. Please help us!
