I was injured at work by another employee at the end of last year. I was seasonal contract and she extended my contract as she wanted my injury to get better so i could drive for her again. Waited for wsib to make a decision the whole month of january. i was on modified duties for the month and then was advised that my contract was not extending past jan 31. i asked why they hiring if im being let go and my boss said she is hiring drivers and i cant drive because im injured so its my last day. wsib approved my claim for healthcare that day.
