Union accuses WSIB of delay tactics during strike

Striking Workplace Safety and Insurance Board workers will continue to picket outside Windsor-Tecumseh MPP Andrew Dowie's office as their strike enters its third week.

Their union accuses the WSIB of using stall tactics and delays in responding to outstanding issues at the bargaining table.

The Ontario Compensation Employees Union, under the umbrella of the Canadian Union of Public Employees, said the employer refused to meet on Saturday.

"As our members continue to walk the picket line, and as injured workers across Ontario face increasing hardship, the WSIB's actions, or lack thereof, are deliberately prolonging this strike, with little regard for the real-world impacts on injured workers and frontline staff," said CUPE.
