Injured Workers Day

About Injured Workers' Day

June 1 is National Injured Workers’ Day, a day to stand in solidarity with injured workers, celebrate our successes and fight for a better, fairer workers’ compensation system. It is also a day to renew our demand that employers, the Workers’ Compensation Board and the provincial government do more to keep workers safe on the job.

Recognition of this day began in Ontario on June 1, 1983, when 3,000 marchers converged on the steps of the Ontario legislature. They demanded a voice for injured workers in committee meetings being held about changing the Ontario WCB system. Their voices couldn’t be ignored, and the committee allowed injured workers to have their say. Last fall, the Ontario legislature passed a bill introduced by NDP MPP Jamie West to formally recognize June 1 each year to be Injured Workers’ Day in Ontario.
