The WCB was created in 1913 based on a report known as the Meredith Report. It was developed to compensate workers for injuries sustained in the course of employment. It was meant to be an objective and fair system to replace expensive and time consuming litigation and injured workers inadvertently gave up their right to sue inorder to be fairly compensated by a system supported by employer contributions. Unfortunately, the WCB has lost direction and as time has evolved the need for the principles and processes of the WCB to change has also arisen. Time limits for claims are unreasonable, the mentality of the organization is focused on cost savings, and the worker is not seen as more then a claim number.
The Alberta WCB is not accountable to any greater power, not even the government. Our requests for positive changes to be made to this important organization have fallen on deaf ears and this highlights the importance of working together. It is time we come together with the common interest of promoting positive change within the Alberta WCB.
If you support our efforts please add your signature. The petition will be sent forward to the Alberta government as well as the Alberta WCB by the end of this calendar year with hopes of an improved system in the new year.

It's time for fair treatment and fair compensation for all people who are injured at work
WCB keeps denying my physio even though my doctor says I still need it. This system is a wreck.
Finally someone is speaking out about this. They have treated me like a criminal since my accident two years ago.
TOTAL GARBAGE. They just protect the companies and try to rush you back to work before your healed.
My husband has been dealing with them for so long and it just ruins your life. Things need to change.
Make WCB accountable

You said it perfectly. I have been fighting for 14 months over a back injury at work through no fault of my own. These people take full sides with the employer, refuse to do their job set by the WCB policies, then decide my back is fine and I am forced to fight and go through the appeals commission to try and get a fair settlement. I hear stories that WCB workers get bonuses for running over people like me but I don't dare voice my opinion to them, as it would make matters worse. Keep up the good work and have a pleasant day
