Jingle Bells (Listen Wynne)

If you've read Life with Lynnie (LwL) over the past couple of days, and last week, you'll know that people met in front of Workplace Safety and Insurance Board (WSIB), on Monday, December 11th, 2017 in a protest.

As you would have read, we who attended the protest, sang songs.

Today, I'm sharing with you the last song we sang.  We actually sang it several times.  Not just, once.

The song was entitled, Jingle Bells (Listen Wynne).  The lyrics are below (I re-typed everything from the pages we received).

Jingle Bells (Listen Wynne)

Jingle Bells, Jingle Bells
Jingle all the way
Oh what fun it is to ride
On a one horse open sleigh - Hey!

Jingle Bells, Jingle Bells
Jingle all the way
Oh what fun it is to ride
On a one horse open sleigh

Dashing through the Board
Grabbing rebate cash
How the bosses moan
"Premiums are too high"!
Bells of Liberals ring
Making promise bright
Oh what fun to slash and *deem
Workers' cheques tonight! - Hey!

Listen Wynne, listen Wynne
Listen all the way!
Do not take us for a ride
On a cost reduction sleigh - Hey!

Listen Wynne, listen Wynne
Listen all the way!
Do not take us for a ride
On a cost reduction sleigh

Dashing through my work
I fell and broke my arm
I put a claim into the Board
To shelter me from harm
Imagine my alarm
The Board it did decide
"Your arm it was *already old
Your claim has been denied!" - Oh!

What a shame, what a shame
Greed has changed the game
Injured workers hurt at work
Are not the ones to blame - No!

Workers Comp is a right
Justice all the way
Do not cut our benefits
Fair Workers Comp today! - Hey!

It stated (I re-typed) on the page:

*Already old - the WSIB now uses 'pre-existing conditions' such as 'age', or even childhood injury, to claim you were not in fact hurt at work, even if these conditions never caused you any pain or impairments ever before. Don't cut benefits based on 'pre-existing conditions'!

Feel free to re-read yesterday's LwL entry, if you want to re-read what *deem referred to.

Yes, as you probably realize, injured workers' are quite often hurt.  Not just by being injured while working.  But, also by not being treated properly through the WSIB system that is being changed over and over, over many years, to not provide as well, for injured workers.

Talk about sin!

Yes, everyone is or has been a sinner... until they came to Christ, trusted in/believed upon Him, and gained salvation.  Then, the person repents.

It seems to me that WSIB sins.  WSIB seems to not want to help injured workers', even though they claim they do. 

To me, that's a lie!  A form of sin.

Thinking about this, made me think of 1 John 1:8, "If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us."

Amen!  If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.

Just like what I believe WSIB does.

Please... pray.

Pray for those who become injured while working.

Pray for family of a worker who died, while injured at work.

Pray for those who are supporting and encouraging injured workers'.

Pray that WSIB will change back to like WCB was in the past, so that injured workers' can be treated better.

Thank you.

May God bless you.


Until next time...
