Injured workers are protesting the closure of WSIB offices and the layoff of 460 staff across Northern Ontario. The Thunder Bay and District Injured Workers Support Group is demanding an immediate halt to these changes. They argue that these closures will create barriers for injured workers and eliminate crucial local knowledge. The group also expressed concern about the WSIB's unclear plans for AI implementation. Local political representatives have voiced opposition to the layoffs, emphasizing the need for more WSIB staff, not fewer.
