  • The same thing happened to me! Not sure how anyone CAN ever change the WCB across Canada? Broke! Went to Mayo on Credit, cashed in all my RRSP - now still the same thing ... fight WCB Manitoba! Fight for something that you shouldn't have to fight for! Spinal Cord Injury after falling off a Catwalk at work. Was told by WCB normal part of aging. Functioning is a huge problem. Then the Disability Tax Credit from CRA - same no you can't get that! Wow - why does our government have these programs?

  • Comment removed

  • and you wonder why people go postal and shoot peoples faces off....

    wcb employees are risking their lives denying injured workers medical care

    they were lucky in alberta when clayton changed his mind

    maybe next time they won't be so lucky

    wcb=worst corrupt bullies

  • I as well PITY anyone that suffers a Work related injury! 9 out of 10 people are SOL if you have to deal with WCB you will be bullied, have to fight, and on top of that try to get well! WCB DESROYS LIVES!!!!!! And that is our safety net if we get hurt? The only way to get this corrected is to GO TO THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT in numbers and have this AGENCY CLOSED! Let the public run such an Agency - allow Injured Workers to be trained and RUN a Work Injury Business ... if you have BEEN.

  • I can't believe you could actually find a reporter that would publish this story to Television! Noone will in the USA. I am so sorry for your pain and suffering, I am an injured worker also and I can relate. Can you get any kind of medical attention for your injury?

  • Fred has done amazingly for 30 miserable years. 5 yrs has me at the end of my rope. Those stacks of files and paperwork r typical ..piles of files and we r the only ones who know what evidence is BURIED in them so its impossible to 'tell our story' in any real way. The CBC should have gone through files with Fred so they would know for themselves what has gone on and what the evidence shows-until that happens we r all just 'disgruntled' claimants- Please look at the evidence.

  • CAPITUS DUMINTIO MAXIMA

    if your name apears in all capital letters

    ( in law) this designates the highest forum of a loss of status .

    ie = a person without rights.

    CHECK All you Goverment issued id !

  • If you didn't know anything about the WC system and just watched this video, you would think this man was insane...however, I am the daughter of a failed WC system, and I have seen the deterioration of a wonderful person due to this corrupt system. "They" drive people to this, hoping their victims will either give up, look so crazy no one takes them serious, or they die from a multitude of reasons. Time for some serious spotlights to be aimed at the WC regulatory systems, or lackthereof.

  • I am glad you see that I am not the crazy one. The problem in Canada is the government. They have removed the medical and legal rights of Canadians as soon as they get hurt on the job. The Canada Health Act and Workers Compensation Acts show you "injured workers are not covered under this Act" and "No action may be brought against the board, its doctors, or the company". In effect the government has given a private insurance company a licence to steal from, torture, and kill the injured worker.

  • Canadians, Americans and people from around the industrial countries have the same problems. AND we are supposed to be a civil society?

    Reminiscent of the ww11 Nazi's extermination.

  • This is the same that happens to U.S. workers. Now we are being exposed to toxic sites, with radiation, chromium hexolat + OVER 200 other toxic contaminates with THE SITES BUILT ON BY movie studios and hospitals like kaiser(is above the U.S. fed laws) and bio pesticides that unregulated and spread all over our dirt, water and plants. EUGENICS is alive & well and workers mean nothing but making profit for corporations/government.

    you tube Dina Padilla

    you tube Sandi Trend BOTH IN CALIFORNIA, U.S.

  • be careful of downed worker he sask wcb plant

  • good job on the interview Fred...never let them grind ya down

  • After all, WSIB are supposed to be the experts looking out for you, the client.

    If someone owns the fruits of your labor, stolen from you by deceptive and deceitful

    methods, then you are a slave.

  • How does the WSIB Violates It's Own Code, I/W facts are carefully presented which

    definitively proved how the WSIB deliberately lies and misleads INJURED CANADIAN by

    unlawfully (circumventing) the law. (To manage to get around especially by ingenuity or stratagem,the setup circumvented

    the red tape!!) Don't be fooled by this current WSIB illusion debt is not prosperity.

    Sucking the lifeblood out of the I/W.

    Sheds a whole new light on things, doesn't it?

  • In some cases in wcb the government has excepted responsibility for any illness or future illness of workers in writing.A lot of them deny or claim to know nothing aboutit.But i have seen the copy with my own 2 eyes and it is at great regret from the gvernment people got their hands on it .

  • The WSIB have hired Ex insurers who are experts at denying claims and are getting away with it while families suffer.

  • It never ends, and it's the Staff in the Ministry not the Heads as you know!!

    I have an Awesome Pension but needed to fight for every medication, and wait years for surgeries!!

    It's the UNION deadwood "Job secure staff that make the rules and TELL the Minister only after you, go OVER the heads of the DEAD WOOD!!

    KEEP ASKING, and it's cool the UNION media did this Story!

    They normally could careless about Canadians in Canada, as I have seen first hand!!

    Stay Strong!!

  • WCB thinks they are an insurance company that is above the courts.

    It is a sure recipe for corruption and WCB is certainly a corrupt system.

    WCBA has lied and cheated in their dealings with me. It goes far beyond the line of criminal behaviour. I would necer believed how vad they are if I had not experienced it myself.

    The Minister in of Labour and the 9 members of the board really do deserve to be in prison.

  • Demand that WORKERS COMP be scrutinized of guilt in administrative cases and administrative complaints, when WORKERS COMP failed to consider a basic and elemental rule or principle in the discharge of administrative duties.

    These negligent deeds are gross and inexcusable. It is further noted that any or all of these deeds have resulted in undue injury and suffering to an injured workers.

  • I was injured on the job reported this to my employer

    right away, the employer told me not to come to

    work my injuries.

    Then my employer tells the wsib that I have not

    reported to early return to work with serious injuries

    claim denied!

    ANOTHER SKELETON IN WORKERS COMP CLOSET

  • The WSIB is using destabilisation methods to undermine workers rights and will reactivate the skeletons

    in the WSIB closet with the incitement of outright attacks of reprisals!! How can injured workers give evidence

    without fear of these unprovoked savage attacks at the slightest whisper!!

  • WSIB risk management.(SCREWS ALL INJURED WORKER`S) for fixed income.

  • I too share your story.

    we are conndemed to poverty, for real; it is all so sad and frustrating

  • the board is full of sharks and the injured workers are the bait!!!

  • musculoskeletal disorders that lead to permanent disabilities, yet Governments stick their heads in the sand and refuse to fix a system that is causing grievous harm to workers and their families. They also stand by when these claims are illegally denied by workers compensation boards . . ."

    LORD THUNDERING JESUS!

  • We are all with you Fred.. Fighting WorkSafe B.C is the hardest thing I have ever had to do... Fight WorkSafe B.C....

  • Thanks JB. We need to fight the government directly. Nothing will change with WCB's until we sue the government directly for discrimination and human rights abuses and even murder for money.

  • WHO`S RUNNING THE COUNTRY?

  • I pity anyone in Canada who gets injured on the job and has SYLVIA TARASOFF SCARBACK for a case manager, you will be fucked over like you are a worthless piece of garbage, she will spew lies to have your claim file so F/UP it will be unbelievable:

    Saskatchewan Workers Compensation and their employee's don't give a rats ass if you or anyone else is killed or maimed: They sent me back to work KNOWING that I would suffer further injury

    the PROOF is in my claim file. BIGGEST LIARS ARE SASK WCB

  • State of PAIN: POVERTY: STRESS: How can you get well when your injuries are denied treatment; I have a injured shoulder due to a work injury suffered on the job 2005: Last month I got a letter from WCB they might reinvestigate after conducting a BIAS investigation of the injury in 2005 after several doctors have confirmed the injury, a neurosurgeon pinioned the injury. The WCB medical advisor has stated throughout my claim file the injury. The WCB bozo's are still DENYING me help for the INJURY.

  • I have sworn to the Justice Minister in Saskatchewan that WCB fraudulently administered my injury claim with the intent to cause me further injury, (which of course they knew would happen and it DID ) WCB hid my true medical information from me, and sent me back to work diagnosed but they wouldn't accept the diagnose (or investigate further ) WHICH MY PHYSICIAN REQUESTED but of course was DENIED. I received the same set of letters, Can't do JACK SHIT- because ARM'S LENGTH AGREEMENT:

    WCB SUCKS:

  • This is organized crime, workers compensation is seriously F/UP, HOW IS IT THAT THEY CAN OVER-RULE A DOCTORS REQUEST FOR HELP FOR AN INJURED WORKER WHO HAS SUFFERED A WORK INJURY; This is exactly what has happened to me, wcb are the worst bunch of crooks on this planet; screwing injured workers out of their health recovery, how is this a good thing? Denying diagnostic tests requested from treating physicians, AGAIN how is this another good thing? workers compensation is for minor injuries only.

  • Workers compensation doesn't work for severely injured workers who are disabled due to work injuries: The deck is stacked against these people by everyone. I was sent for a minnesota personality test that cost $500 dollars, 500 questions that were multiple choice. ( Thats $1 per question)The RESULTS: I wasn't faking injury for profit: The X-RAY 2 weeks later diagnosed my 1st spinal injury. BROKEN BACK. All this after going to 28 Doctors some who reported to WCB I was a malingering faker.

  • Yea, I wouldn't put anything past them, I honestly believe they have tried to kill me as they knew right from the get-go I needed to see a specialist, DENIED, I have PROOF they DENIED me this MEDICAL HELP and tried to cover-up the information, HOWEVER who can fight the GOVERNMENT:

    Workers Compensation is a BIG FRAUD, they say that it was a historic agreement reached between labour and government: Their is no such agreement IT IS ANOTHER LAW PROVINCIAL GOVERNMENTS BROUGHT IN THROUGH LEGISLATION:

  • I had three herniated disks. WSIB, the company, nor the doctors told me. Instead put me back to work. I never found out for 15 years I had three herniated disks. I was continually going to the emrgency with a bad back and they would give me two atasol thirty or a demerol shot and toradol, then send me home to suffer in agony. The problem is they don't treat the associated pain that accompanies these injuries. That is why many of us injured workers commit suicide. Pain doesn't wait for an appeal

  • Fred, we all wish you the best of --- Luck? There should be no need for luck. Facts are facts, and from where I'm sitting the facts all support your case.

  • What does one say to this Fred? I hope that your day in court results in the abusers having to openly admit to their mistreatment of you. And that they apoligise, and TRY to make up for what you have been subjected to. People that think this is only finacial are wrong. Money is necessary, but the mental abuse forever leaves its marks. Hang in there.

  • I pity anyone in Canada that suffer's a work injury. Workers Comp is corrupt; they sent me back to work against my physicians wishes driving a semi-truck on morphine and oxycontin with 2 spinal injuries and 2 shoulder injuries with no treatment , this is how CORRUPT these bastards are: When you need medical help for your injuries, Your out of LUCK:

    A neurosurgeon made 10 recommendations for my rehabilitation I received, NOTHING, NADDA, ZILCH then I was cutoff benefits NO medical HELP period.

  • They did the exact same thing to me and thousands of others!

    I hurt my back at work in 1994 and both my Dr.'s agreed. The WCB sent me to a 'pain clinic' (Guy Reid of Reids Physio, Sydney - a bought and paid for clinic by the WCB) and he wrote that I was faking my back injury! The Board cut me off and I have been suffering ever since. I have documented my claim the whole time and I will have my day in court in 2 months - wish me luck!

  • The DYNAMIC Sit/Stand FONAR MRI has been PROVEN to show that their is a 38% miss rate with recumbent MRI machines by UCLA Medical Centre, especially in the lumbar area; YET WORKERS COMPENSATION which has BILLIONS of dollars won't use that money to provide tests for injured workers "NO DIAGNOSE = NO TREATMENT"" = "NO HEALTH RECOVERY""= What the hell is so hard to understand about this? INJURED WORKERS MUST HAVE THE LATEST DIAGNOSTIC TESTS to diagnose their injury! WCB knows this yet Denies HELP.

  • I was injured in Ontario but I have investigated WHSCC in Newfoundland and Labrador. The WHSCC (WCB) pays HRLE (the government welfare program paid by taxpayers) a sum of money for quote "operating expenses". I believe this sum of money is to pay the welfare benefits of permanently injured workers when they are illegaly dumped onto welfare instead of receiving insurance benefit approximating their wage loss as written in legislation. No other corporation pays HRLE money to operate. Check it out.

  • Good luck, please let us know what happens, because many of us are in the same position, we need to hold these people accountable.

  • How is your court case coming along? Have you been there yet? I wish you more than luck, I wish you justice.

  • Yes it is treason. Fraud, theft, lieing, against all Canadians. We were promised wage loss and medical care for injuries suffered on the job. Many die because they cannot get justice and are left in pain and poverty. It is the natural consequence of being abused mentally, emotionally, and physically. A planned assault on the minds, hearts, and bodies of once healthy men and women. Innocent men and women deserving of full compensation, not welfare and pain and death.
