Here is a photo of a few injured workers protesting

at the court house in Windsor, Ontario

Tuesday, March 17th, 2015.



To read about the court hearing being held against an injured worker,

please click on this link for the article by The Windsor Star entitled,

As the article says,

there seems to be no proof that the person who had to appear in court

is the correct person, being accused.

 

What happened to freedom of speech?

This was posted on Facebook (FB) by our group's president, and seemed important to all injured workers, so I thought it should be posted here.  Hopefully, it is correct.  Check it out!

As tax season is here.Injured workers can call United Way to get there taxes done free or call 211 for the nearest tax clinic in your area.
