Executive Director John McKinnon was recently guest speaker on episode #10 of Injured Workers Legal Side with Richard & Paul. This episode of the podcast series hosted by Richard Fink and Paul Taylor addressed issues faced by older injured workers.
A lawyer with a long history of advocating against age discrimination in the workers’ compensation system, John discusses here the reasons behind a new joint legal challenge to Ontario’s current legislation which limits workers’ compensation to injured workers at age 65, and the development of law and policy behind the WSIB’s inadequate retirement benefit which forces many into poverty.
