Using examples from Canada and abroad, this chapter analyzes “accident stories” that are told by those who are injured in the workplace. A Canadian worker is seriously injured every 19 seconds, and three die per day. Fighting for compensation can be an isolating and traumatizing process as the cases are settled individually; hence, when workers have the ability to share their stories, for example through the Ontario injured workers movement and the Injured Workers History Project, it can lead to solidarity and action advocating for better workplace conditions. As Steven High describes it, “Pain and suffering need not be pathologized as an individual problem.” The research that has been gathered “enables them [the workers], simultaneously, to uncover, learn, and use their history to, in Orlando Buonastella’s words, contest the official and dominant discourses whose purpose it is to demonize and erase them…becoming…a hybrid of what Linda Shopes calls ‘citizens-scholars-activists.’”
