A story aired on CBC’s The Current yesterday about first responders who got PTSD on the job. Near the end of the radio program, almost all of the workers point to the challenges they’ve faced with WSIB. These challenges included: insufficient health care, WSIB minimizing the significance of injuries, needing to go elsewhere for support, and long wait times for compensation.
