Legislative changes in 2002 dramatically reduced the benefits that permanently injured workers receive, and made it much more difficult for these workers to qualify for benefits. This petition calls on the BC government to restore permanent injury and pension benefits and eligibility to the levels they were at before 2002.
Petition for Restoration of Pension Benefits
Whereas, in 2002, the BC government changed the laws that determine the benefits and compensation permanently injured workers receive.
Whereas, because of these changes, workers who are permanently injured today are not receiving adequate support.
Whereas, they will receive virtually no support as seniors.
Therefore, I am asking your government to repeal these changes — bring back appropriate coverage for injured workers!
