The evidence is pretty clear that Alberta employers structure work in ways that injuries 1 in 5 workers each year. <br /><br />Ontario provides a useful historical case for what happens when there is underfunding of accident funds.Bob Barnetsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12164225489620639641noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8332706231179330796.post-20151422468529918722018-08-09T09:27:22.525-07:002018-08-09T09:27:22.525-07:00"Employers pay premiums that fund the WCB. In..."Employers pay premiums that fund the WCB. In return, they can’t be sued by the workers they maim and kill." How insensitive can you be? Small businesses care deeply about their employees, most of them are family and friends. It is in their best interest and a top priority to provide a safe and healthy work environment. <br /><br />"...the CFIB wants the accident fund surplus distribution threshold set at 110% of projected costs. The result of this will almost certainly be the development of an unfunded liability in the accident fund." Do you have an ounce of proof of your claims? There is no basis for the doom and gloom you predict here.Amberhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08979483200698188121noreply@blogger.com
