Ontario Federation of Labour denies misspending, defends training
Ontario’s Progressive Conservative labour critic is accusing the Workplace Safety and Insurance Board (WSIB) of operating a slush fund for the province’s labour federation.
Last month at Queen’s Park, MPP Randy Hillier told the legislature the province’s WSIB had given the Ontario Federation of Labour (OFL) more than $12 million over the past decade to help employees and employers navigate the compensation system through its Occupational Disability Response Team (ODRT) fund — but its effectiveness is tepid at best.
