The Government of Alberta has announced the WCB review recommendations. You can read them here. CIWAA would like to share your comments with the government, as there is still some disconnect of how many injured workers view the WCB. Please read the review recommendations and comment on CIWAA’s open forum below, which will be sent to the government in September. Please make your comment and questions free of swear words/vulgar language so your voice can be heard.
Thank you: CIWAA would like to thank Premiere Notley for her due diligence in requesting a WCB review.
CIWAA encourages the NDP government to delve into to day-to-day activities and govern operations at the WCB. Open up all long-term claims denied on bought opinion or when medical panel was used to deny eligibility.
If criminal activity has been uncovered strictly for monetary gain that intentionally hurt/slandered or killed injured workers, punish those involved in a court of law. All within the WCB should include personnel from the top down as well as those doctors they consistently pay for opinions.
CIWWA begs the NDP government on behalf of all injured workers their families and taxpayers not to ignore the panels findings and the plight of injured workers.
Injured workers deserve compensation for their injuries, period.
Granted, the government cannot give the injured workers the life they lost back, nor can they ease the pain and suffering. But the government can make the years they have left on earth free of stress and financial worry. Prioritize accessible medical needs for injured workers.
Injured workers that passed on from their injuries and left their families in poverty and depression deserve the benefit their loved ones should have had in life.
