Striking WSIB Workers Returning to Work on Monday After Voting to Ratify Tentative Collective Agreement

  • Unionized workers represented by the Ontario Compensation Employees Union at WSIB ratified a tentative agreement and returned to work on Monday, ending a strike that began May 22.
  • The strike followed months of failed contract talks over wages, workloads, and outsourcing, with Bill 124’s one percent wage cap complicating negotiations and Premier Ford personally engaging.
  • The WSIB insures over 5.3 million people and 300,000 workplaces, with workers demanding fair wages, reduced caseloads, safer workplaces, and ending outsourcing amid staffing and mental health concerns.
  • The new deal includes a seven percent wage increase over three years, with 72.5 percent of members approving, and WSIB officials expressing pride in the team’s recent efforts and readiness to resume full service.
  • WSIB leadership and union representatives acknowledge ongoing organizational challenges and plan immediate relief measures, emphasizing commitment to better serving injured workers in the future.
