Citizens Forum Interview with Paul Taylor
Thank-you to Norm and Paul
1). "Paul Taylor is an injured worker in Ontario that has been struggling to get benefits for an injury he received at work 25 years ago. During his tussle with Workplace Safety & Insurance Board Ontario (WSIB). He is using his skills learned as a paralegal and haven taken parts of his case to the Supreme Court of Canada in the his pursuit of justice to organize a National Charter Challenge Class action against the Worker’s Compensation Boards (WCB)in each province.
The process, claim details as well as a resource of other material is on his Web Site fightwcb.org."
2). "Paul is uniting with injured worker groups across the country to file his claim and have the worker groups file there own related claims in the provinces across the country. While meeting and talking with many injured workers across the country and worldwide it became apparent that the methods used by the various WCBs are consistent across jurisdictions. Joining together in related national action the injured workers are presenting a united stand against the abuses of the WCBs.
Paul urges injured workers in Canada to contact him and be part of the groups filing the challenge – contact Paul via his web site fightwcb.org"

This book validates our positions.
"The use of ineffective regulation appears to represent INTENTIONALLY prioritizing profitability over safety. And the state has contained the ability of workers to resist this agenda by shaping the discourse around injury and the operation of these systems."
~ Dr. Bob Barnetson, The Political Economy of Workplace Injury in Canada: 2010.

"Examining injury compensation reveals how seemingly neutral aspects of claims adjudication and management financially advantage employers and limit the ability of workers to resist unsafe work."
"Together, this analysis suggests that the prevention and compensation of workplace injuries are not solely technical or legal undertakings, but intensely political ones that entail serious consequences — most often for workers. This conclusion is quite upsetting. But the facts are difficult to dispute."

Today: With both doors still open for me with WCAT, I filed for Reconsideration of my case. They'll get that tomorrow to add to action taken by courageous workers on all our behalf in another part of our country.

This campaign will stay up through whatever is to come.
To date: We've received no word at all from any level of government with authority.
I'm up for this challenge: I'm working to detach from the rage.
We need no further validation than this as far as I'm concerned:
"The use of ineffective regulation appears to represent intentionally prioritizing profitability over safety. And the state has contained the ability of workers to resist this agenda by shaping the discourse around injury and the operation of these systems."

Update: Part 3.
My personal case is with the U.N.
How long for action? It will take as long as it takes. We're not alone in this world. These systems seem swamped, dealing with cases like ours. I filed my complaint on behalf of myself and persons with disabilities in Canada coast-to-coast.
