Poverty and suffering is too often the result of workplace injuries or diseases that affect approximately 300,000 workers and their families in Ontario.

injuredworkersonline.org is a collaborative effort of injured workers, trade unionists, community activists and advocates, and doctors. We seek better treatment for injured workers by their employers, government and workers' compensation system.
