Workers Abandoned: The Failure of the Wage Earner Protection Program
The Shocking Truth: Government Battles Its Own Workers in Court
They created the safety net. Now they’re cutting it from under your feet.
In an unprecedented move that has legal experts stunned, the Liberal Government is actively fighting in court to deny terminated workers the very benefits they are legally entitled to receive under the worker protection program the government itself established.
Let that sink in: The same administration that championed worker rights is now spending taxpayer dollars to ensure those protections don’t reach the people who need them most.
This isn’t just another policy debate – it’s about real families losing their livelihoods while the government that promised to protect them is working overtime to ensure they get nothing.
Share this before they try to bury it. The public deserves to know when those in power are working against the very protections they promised.
Real WEPP Denial Case - February 2025
Application Received: 29-11-2024
Filed under: [Company name redacted]
Your WEPP payment application has been denied for the following reason(s):
“…your former employer is not subject to an eligible insolvency proceeding and eligible wages are no longer owed to you… It has therefore been determined that the eligibility criteria pursuant to subsection 5(1) of the WEPPA are not met.”
This is just one example among thousands of Canadian workers being denied their rightful compensation through technical loopholes and restrictive interpretations.
