The Office of the Worker Counsellor was established by the Nova Scotia Federation of Labour in 2009 to provide assistance, education and advocacy for workers dealing with the workers compensation or occupational health and safety systems in this province.
The NS Fed receives funding from the WCB to operate the program.
We have three people on staff. Kim Tanner is our Administrative Assistant, and she is usually the first person you’ll speak with when you call. Dean Tupper and Rachel Barbour are the “Worker Counsellors” who provide advice and assistance.
