View the WCB annual general meeting video and comment on the questions I asked and what you would like to ask of the WCB in upcoming years.

​The WCB annual general meeting was today. WCB C.E.O. confirmed increased wages, vacation perks for staff while the goal setting incentives were stopped attached to claims other compensation to WCB staff was provided.

Guy Kerr also confirmed that the Government and the Government Review Panel has no jurisdiction or authority to change the WCB culture, policy or procedures at the WCB. It will be interesting to see what comes out of the review that is merely recommendations to the WCB Board that is not touchable.

I have attended a two day session in Edmonton that was related to the WCB review panel assigned by the Alberta Government to make recommendations on the current WCB system.

The audience was made up of employers, representatives of employers, workers, general public including safety associations.

The group interaction was positive, informative and the individuals were knowledgeable about the WCB practices. The concerns of transparency, fairness and good decision making was apparent.

I was impressed by the panel, and the people brought together with one common concern of WCB compensation and injured workers.

This is not always reflected in my daily dealings with the WCB and I hope we are all able to work together to promote a better system to compensate workers at the end of the day.

Please refer to WCB changes requested and make your comments to the current government review board to make a difference. All Canadians should be concerned with  the lack of funds provided to injured workers in Canada. 

MAN ON FIRE-
Story of the gentleman who feels nothing less than another victim of the WCB system.

Please support the change required at the WCB and submit your concerns to the review panel currently taking place in Alberta.

Take action by appealing the compensation decisions on your claim.
