@johnbartolomeo.bsky.socialToday in #WSIB Pain: injured worker in difficult circumstances, trying to get an answer, 36 minute wait time on the phone. How is this helping the people of Ontario?
@johnbartolomeo.bsky.socialWith a 46 minute #WSIB wait time I even have time to stop for a snack at Union Station.
@johnbartolomeo.bsky.socialSweet Mother of Pearl! #WSIB wait time 46 MINUTES?! This has nothing to do with more callers and more to do with unconscionable job cuts to northern Ontario offices.
@catf.bsky.socialDryden paper mill toxic exposure claims get fresh investigation #WSIB www.thesafetymag.com/ca/news/gene...
@johnbartolomeo.bsky.socialIf you also despise #WSIB 25 minute wait times, might I suggest signing this petition?
@johnbartolomeo.bsky.socialSo we could open #WSIB offices in northern Ontario for workers or just not spend the money, create a surplus, and give all that money to employers. Not sure what the appropriate emoji would reflect my mood.
@johnbartolomeo.bsky.socialRemember every dollar the #WSIB saves through "efficiencies" or "modernisation" isnt for the health and safety system or workers, it's a gift to employers.
@johnbartolomeo.bsky.socialThe new #WSIB normal, prolonged wait times, slow response time, and lack of connection to all of Ontario's communities. All in the name of pumping up the surplus to give money to employers!
@johnbartolomeo.bsky.socialWe're up to a 25 minute wait time to get ro #WSIB reception. Maybe getting rid of over a tenth of staff was not a good idea. Maybe an office in Sudbury or Thunder Bay to handle calls would be a good idea.

@johnbartolomeo.bsky.socialAccidentally disconnected from the call 10 minutes in. Things haven't gotten faster. Another 15 minute wait to talk to #WSIB staff. Maybe terminating all that staff wasn't a good idea.
@johnbartolomeo.bsky.socialAnother #WSIB 15 minute wait time to speak with someone. The messages pre warn of "unusually long" wait times. I don't think it has anything to do with call volume but the termination of hundreds of staff.

Injured workers deserve timely accessible support, and the people who provide those services deserve job security.

@oceu1750.bsky.socialWSIB is cutting hundreds of experienced employees. Injured workers are already dealing with pain, stress and uncertainty. They should not have to pay the price for cuts WSIB has failed to justify.
Speak up against injustice. Sign the petition now.

@johnbartolomeo.bsky.socialYou know what else happened when #WSIB terminated over a tenth of staff? Service level commitments drop: www.wsib.ca/en/our-servi...
@oceu1750.bsky.socialThank you MPP Jamie West for organizing the community consultation about the permanent closure of WSIB offices across the North, and the mass layoffs.

@johnbartolomeo.bsky.social15 Minute wait time to get a live body at #WSIB today. Maybe if they hadn't decimated staff (literally a tenth of staff gone) I wouldn't be waiting for so long.
