But in this case, the WSIB cut off those payments in 2019 and denied future retraining because it said the worker could find equivalent employment in a variety of other fields, including “fur storage attendant” and “shoe shiner.”McKinney called the board’s proposed alternative occupations demeaning — and an example of “unconscious bias.”“We’ve got these low-status, low-paid, low-skilled jobs that are vestiges from a much more explicitly racist past,” he said.“I just told a Black Jamaican man who is used to being the breadwinner for his family and now has a buggered-up right arm that he can go be a shoe shine boy? Star Newspapers Limited and/or its licensors. This copy is for your personal non-commercial use only. KINGSTON, Jamaica — Jamaican investigators on Wednesday found the severed head and bullet-riddled body of a man they believe was a high-ranking member of a notorious drug-and-extortion gang known for beheading victims.A police statement said the bloody head was found Wednesday along a commercial strip in Spanish Town, a southern city where violent gangs are deeply entrenched and authorities impose frequent curfews.The head, which investigators say matches Navardo Hodges of the Clansman gang, had a bullet wound in the middle of the forehead, common of gangland executions in the troubled area. But the training didn’t get off its feet before the worker was repatriated to Jamaica; like all seasonal agricultural workers, he does not have permanent status in Canada. “They’re going to go home, they’re not going to get any retraining. Newspapers Limited, One Yonge Street, 4th floor, Toronto, ON, M5E 1E6 Over the past year, the Jamaican government’s offensive against crime has created power vacuums within the Clansman.Police had linked Hodges to a dozen slayings and offered a reward of nearly $6,000 for information leading to his capture.In mid-July, a churchgoing mother and daughter were beheaded by attackers who invaded their home in the Spanish Town area, near where a wanted 18-year-old Clansman member was found with his head chopped off.To avenge a death, Jamaican gangs sometimes will murder someone who lives in a neighborhood controlled by perceived enemies, and not specifically target a member of a rival gang.20 Tweets Dragging Roseanne Barr To A White Privilege Hell Toronto Star articles, please go to:Never miss the latest news from the Star, including up-to-date coronavirus coverage, with our email newslettersThe Toronto Star and thestar.com, each property of Toronto Star That document instructs decision-makers to look at “employment available for the worker in the local Ontario labour market.”“This includes any necessary retraining and subsequent decisions regarding loss of earnings,” Arnott said.But critics have long warned that the policy makes no sense because seasonal agricultural workers’ ability to be in Canada is tied to working at a single employer; they are not able to seek work with another employer, and they cannot gain permanent residency through the program, which would allow them to do so.In 2010, Toronto-based legal clinic Industrial Accident Victims’ Group of Ontario said in a submission to a Ministry of Labour panel that there were “serious concerns that many partially disabled migrant workers are deported and cut off benefits” before accessing the rights they were entitled to on paper.In 2017, the WSIB’s independent appeals tribunal ruled the board had “abrogated its legal obligations” when it slashed Jamaican migrant worker Michael Campbell’s benefits by claiming he was capable of finding alternative work as a cashier in Ontario after a farm injury. Shoeshiner or boot polisher is an occupation in which a person cleans and buffs shoes and then applies a waxy paste to give a shiny appearance and a protective coating.

Initially, the WSIB approved a retraining program for the worker in late 2017 as a truck and forklift driver, as is the right of injured workers in the province who are left with a permanent disability after a workplace accident.The solution seemed like a win all around, McKinney said.
