Injured Workers Deserve Better: Toward a Worker-Centered WCB
- Janet Patterson's report, New Directions: WCB Review 2019 (PDF), was commissioned by the BC government in 2019. And be sure to read the addendum (PDF) — it's filled with brave testimony from injured workers, their families, advocates, medical professionals and others.
- Kevin Love's report, Workers Deserve Better, draws on Janet Patterson's report to lay out concrete legislative and policy changes needed to create a fair, accountable, and worker-centred compensation system.
- Paul Petrie's 2018 report prepared for the WCB chair, Restoring the Balance, identifies the imbalance at the WCB and sets out a worker-centered approach to workers' compensation.
- Our Workers Deserve Better campaign spotlights the stories of injured workers. And it lets British Columbians call on the provincial government to act now to fix the WCB.
