http://wcbdigest.com/?p=82 Experiences with the Workers Compensation Board, others can learn from our struggles. Someday you or a loved one may be face to face with the WCB and their Illegal activities, knowledge is your best defence. I am fed up and am trying to make a difference. I actively run this blog while trying to survive the financial ruin and health decline bestowed upon me by WCB and Nexient Learning Inc Thu, 19 Aug 2010 00:23:06 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 http://wcbdigest.com/?p=82&cpage=1#comment-799 Ken Markkula Tue, 24 Feb 2009 17:19:10 +0000 http://www.wcbdigest.com/?p=82#comment-799 It makes me happy to hear that an injured workers employer is there to assist. I wish my employer had been doing the same instead of assisting the WCB to cut me off, the tactics the were used by both was unbelievable, the company I worked for was new to Canada, from the US, they were mad that I got injured, and wrote reports of situations that didn't even happen, they stated to my foreman ( who they didn't know I car pooled with) that I ( the injured worker) would not get away with this in the States and that they were going to revamp the Canadian style of WCB, it took over a year to battle my company and WCB, both made false statements about my injury even to the point of job completion and length of call ( claimed it was a 2 week call out when it actually was a call out for a month plus and job ended in November but they were still hiring in July the following year for same job site), employer stated that they had offered me light duty work 3 months after injury and I refused, there is nothing further from the truth, however I did end up winning in appeals over all this but still had to fight for over a year with no income and living off what little savings I had accumulated It makes me happy to hear that an injured workers employer is there to assist.
