Hi everyone;
I am an injured worker from Osoyoos British Columbia, Canada. I hope your lobby day went well. Thank you for the inspiration to do the same thing here. We are locked in to draconian legislation, and many of our injured workers have committed suicide after their "legitimate" claims were denied. We need your help. If you have any good information in regards to organization we would welcome your support.
Thank You
