Recognize Injured Workers Day on June 1

On June 1 every year, Unifor members and leaders gather with injured workers and those who advocate for them outside provincial legislatures and government offices to mark Injured Workers Day.  We rally on this day to celebrate the gains made through united action, to raise current concerns – and to remind governments that injured workers cannot be ignored.

This day of recognition for injured workers and their families started on June 1, 1983, when more than 3,000 injured workers converged on the steps of the Ontario legislature to demand a voice for injured workers in committee meetings being held to make major changes to the Ontario workers’ compensation system.

This year, thanks to the persistent efforts of all injured worker advocates, Ontario has officially recognized and now proclaims June 1 as Injured Workers Day.

What:            Join injured workers in Toronto as we rally & deliver our demands for 2025

When:           Sunday, June 1, 2025, 11:00am – 1:00pm

Where:         Legislative Assembly of Ontario – 1 Queens Park, Toronto, ON M7A 1A2

Why fight for injured workers?

Workplace injuries profoundly affect workers, their families and their communities. Injured Workers Day serves as an opportunity for governments to recognize the individuals who have been injured at work or who have suffered injuries as a result of their workplace conditions. This is a day to bring awareness to issues of workplace injury, the plight of injured workers, and to demonstrate a commitment to workplace injury prevention and remediation.

We invite you to create, support or join any action in your area related to this important cause and to demand injured workers receive compensation that is fair, transparent, and without half-measures.
