“I was a 5th term electrical apprentice who got crushed by a stack of drywall…”

Here is a post from Charles about his recent experiences with Ontario WSIB…

Words can’t describe how much it angers me to read all these stories. I was a 5th term electrical apprentice who got crushed by a stack of drywall, which shattered a section of my knee. While going going through the process of fixing my knee (three surgeries), I was told a few weeks after my first surgery that I was fit to return to work, which I clearly wasn’t, so they decided to cut off my pay and call me a liar. Considering I had two more surgeries after the first one, clearly I wasn’t lying. Anyways, due to the financial strain I lost my home, the girlfriend I shared it with, and suffered with anxiety and depression issues for a long time. I hired a lawyer and got them to give me my back pay, but I had to give 30 per cent to my lawyer, and I received nothing for my pain and suffering from their stupid decision. Even the contractor I worked for turned their back on me with their bullying and pressure methods. This is proof alone that our government doesn’t care about any of us at all. Today my knee is still messed up, and I’ll get nothing for that even though it’s a permanent impairment.
