Steve Mantis, long time Injured worker activist and founding member of the Thunder Bay and District Injured Workers Support Group was invited to address the Thunder Bay and District Labour Council on February 27^th.

Steve began by explaining the extensive work of the TBDIWS, before discussing the ills of our current Workers Compensation System and finished up explaining the importance and substance of the “Platform for Change” document.  There were several questions and statements of support from the  TBDLC members after Steve finished his speech.

Later in the meeting a motion was unanimously passed to have the TBDLC endorse the “Platform for Change” document and request its union members follow suit.

We thank the Thunder Bay and District Labour Council for their continuing support.

With shared strength we move forwar
