ONIWG brochure

Who are we?
We are a group of workers (and family members) who have been injured or made sick on the job. We have first hand experience of the WCB/WSIB system and know it needs improvement!

ONIWG is growing. We now have 21 member groups and more are joining.

ONIWG groups in your community:

  • Offer peer support - meet other workers who face the same difficulties and challenges that you do
  • Supply information regarding the compensation system
  • Provide an opportunity to join the fight

What we are fighting for!
Reform of the Workers' Compensation Act and Policy and return to the founding principles. Dignity, Respect and Justice must be the foundation for a renewed Workers' Compensation System. We want a new Workers' Compensation Act, with stated purposes to truly assist and compensate workers injured, made sick and disabled at work.

Current Campaigns:
  • Bring in full cost of living protection for all injured workers' benefits.
  • Provide pensions for workers with permanent disabilities and eliminate the deeming system - injured workers need real jobs and job security or full compensation
