US EditionUnion Remains at the Table - WSIB Stalls as Strike Continues
- The WSIB strike continues in 2025, disrupting services to injured workers across Ontario due to staffing and workload issues.
- The strike arose mainly because excessive workload and stress have overwhelmed WSIB staff, despite conflicting claims about management's response.
- WSIB was originally established to prioritize the needs of injured workers in Ontario by providing financial support and services to aid their recovery and return to work, but it has since shifted its focus to emphasize employer-related interests.
- A peer-reviewed international study found that WSIB staff, especially those assisting injured workers, experience high levels of anxiety and depression due to heavy workloads, with some employees facing suicide risk.
- The strike leaves about 20,000 claims unregistered and injured workers reportedly waiting weeks without contact, indicating serious service gaps and miscommunication.
