How come the employers were not complaining about all the pain and suffering that was rained down on innocent men & women who's only crime was that they went to work and became injured, usually by NO fault of their own. If we as a society in North America are ever going to claim that we have a system of open, fair, and timely treatment of Injured Workers with delivery of timely, relevant and quality Health Care for their serious injuries that will ultimately result in the injured Worker suffering less and possibly receiving the necessary Medical Treatment they need, then we are going to have to completely Throw this System of Worker Abuse into the Garbage heap forever. It is time the workers got behind a system that is run by the workers, and not by Abusive Employers. This antiquated system has been around too long. In Canada this is a violation of our Charter of Rights and Freedoms, until that battle is fought seriously Injured Workers will continue to be abused by the system. Seriously Injured workers are discriminated against in our legal system, and it is time for real change, that will help Injured Workers and their families. Because at the end of the day, it is the children of the Injured workers who will suffer the most. It is time to put a stop to this Government Sponsored Corporate system of abuse that violates the Injured Workers right to proper timely disposition of the settlement of these cases that cause so much pain and suffering of innocent children and their bread winners. This is the information age and it is damned well time we as a society start acting like it.
