WSIB Workers Face More Than Double the National Rates of Anxiety and Depression, Survey Finds
TORONTO, June 14, 2025--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The union representing striking workers at the Workplace Safety and Insurance Board (WSIB) has conducted a follow-up survey to assess workload and occupational stress levels, one year after their initial study. The internationally recognized survey, conducted by the Occupational Health Clinics for Ontario Workers (OHCOW), an independent third party, shows that WSIB workers continue to report the worst results in over a decade compared to workplaces across Canada. When it comes to job-related anxiety and depression, WSIB employees experience levels that are double the national average. Preliminary findings from the updated survey indicate the situation has only deteriorated. "The WSIB is a shining example of what not to be. We will hold the WSIB accountable for their failure to protect employee wellness," said Harry Goslin, President of OCEU. "I will not rest until we fix the very real and systemic workload problem. Once we do that, we will elevate services for all Ontario workers." "Our members are tired of hearing the employer deny their lived experiences, and it's really impacting them," said Nicole Francis, Chief Steward for OCEU. "The results of the survey from last year are crystal clear, but WSIB management doesn't want to accept them because it ruins the image they are trying to project." John Oudyk, Occupational Hygienist with OHCOW, remains optimistic despite the worsening results. "Most of the factors measured in the survey were quite negative, but the engagement scores were close to typical Canadian values. This suggests that, despite their negative experience, respondents have not completely disengaged, indicating they still have hope that their work situation can improve," he said. Members of OCEU/CUPE 1750 have been on strike for over three weeks, after being sent home and locked out of their systems by the employer. Key bargaining issues remain, including dangerously high workloads that are severely impacting WSIB employees' mental health. mb/cope491 View source version on Contacts For more information, please contact: Bill ChalupiakCUPE Communications Representativewchalupiak@ 416-707-1401

Something stinks at Corner Brook's new hospital
For months a foul odour has lingered near both the main and emergency entrances of Corner Brook's new Western Memorial Regional Hospital, but a Newfoundland and Labrador Health Services representative says they're working to get to the source of the smell. Shelby Pyke, an acting senior director in the health authority's Western zone, says water testing has identified the presence of sulfur-reducing bacteria within the storm catch basins near the entrances. She says the cause of the eggy smell is likely groundwater seeping into the storm drain system and not from sewage. "We certainly recognize that it is unpleasant. We do want to assure the public that there is no risk to public safety, but we do sincerely apologize to our patients, visitors, staff, whoever has kind of encountered this smell on their visit," she told CBC Radio's Newfoundland Morning. She says the hospital has known about the foul smell for a few months, and "obviously there's quite a few different parties involved in the planning. We're happy to say that we've now identified both the source and the solution of the problem." Pyke says they're working with the Department of Transportation and Infrastructure, building maintenance and an environmental consultant to fix the problem, including flushing and cleaning the storm drain system. "We're now co-ordinating a mechanical solution to kind of see all the problem areas and address the root cause so that we don't end up in this situation again in the future," said Pyke. The new hospital opened in June 2024, and CBC News reported in February it was already overflowing, and two floors of the old hospital were going to be renovated to hold 45 more patients. Pyke says the bacteria was able to enter the storm drain system due to problems with the pipes. "From what I know, without getting into too much detail, there are I guess some deficiencies with the connections of the pipes," she said. "So we have identified a mechanical solution that is going to kind of seal those problem areas and prevent that from happening in the future." Pyke doesn't know what fixing the problem might cost at the moment, and who pays for it will depend on the project agreements the hospital has with other parties.
