Rubin, J. (2022, January 21). WSIB leadership gets an overhaul. Toronto Star. https://www.thestar.com/business/2022/01/21/wsib-leadership-gets-an-overhaul.html UTL link: http://myaccess.library.utoronto.ca/login?qurl=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.proquest.com%2Fnewspapers%2Fontario-change-wsib-leadership%2Fdocview%2F2621519851%2Fse-2%3Faccountid%3D14771

Josh Rubin writes: "The Ontario government is revamping the leadership of the Workplace Safety and Insurance Board, and vowing the agency will provide 'better customer service' to injured workers, and to companies with strong safety records. The government is set to announce Friday morning that it's replacing longtime chair and ex-Conservative MPP Elizabeth Witmer with former Canada Lands chair Grant Walsh. Interim CEO Tom Bell will be replaced with Jeffrey Lang, a WSIB director and owner of a manufacturing company. In an interview, Labour Minister Monte McNaughton paid tribute to Witmer, who was initially appointed by former Liberal premier Kathleen Wynne. But he said the agency, which has been criticized by both labour and business organizations, needed a change. 'We owe it to safe employers and workers across Ontario to do better for them, and we're going to deliver,' said McNaughton."

"Some workers' rights advocates are skeptical of the government's intentions. 'The proof really is in the pudding. I don't have a lot of faith in this government, when it comes to the treatment of workers,' said Deena Ladd, executive director of the Workers Action Centre. Still, Ladd said a cultural change at the WSIB is long overdue. In addition to a heavily bureaucratic system, WSIB also has a confrontational approach to dealing with injury claims, Ladd said. 'You're injured or get sick at work, and then you're treated like a criminal who's scamming the system, by people who are supposed to be helping you. It just isn't right,' Ladd said."
