| The Policy and Practice in Return to Work Research Group would like to invite you to participate in a New Solutions webinar taking place June 9 from 1-2:30 pm ET and entitled: Sustainable Return to Work in Vulnerable Situations:Policy, Practice and the Canadian Context. Injured workers frequently face challenges invisible to the rest of society. International migrant and immigrant workers are particularly vulnerable when it comes to knowing and using their rights, including their rights to workers’ compensation and to return to work (RTW). Their precarious status too often leads to injustice.These situations are the topic of New Solutions’ special May issue, and its next webinar. Both honour the contributions of the late Professor Katherine Lippel to the fields of occupational health, workers’ compensation and precarious employment. Join us to hear from:Glenn Shor: Workers’ compensation systems in the US and Canada compared. Marion Endicott: Experience rating, claim suppression and return to work in the Canadian workers’ compensation systems. Stephanie Premji: Constraints limiting access to workers’ compensation and return to work among precariously employed Bangladeshi immigrant workers in Toronto. Stephanie Mayell: RTW challenges among international migrant agricultural workers in Ontario and Quebec. Maryth Yachnin: A successful appeal by injured Seasonal Agricultural Worker Program workers about the provincial agency’s “deeming” policy. Memorial University of Newfoundland sociologist, Barb Neis, is the moderator. For more information, see attached poster.
