We help workers across BC navigate WorkSafe BC claims and get back to meaningful work – because no one should face this system alone.
Injured at Work? You Deserve Real Support.
Getting hurt on the job is life-changing. Suddenly, you’re left to figure out medical forms, confusing claims, employer expectations, and the emotional toll of being off work. At Union and Corporate Disability Consulting (UCDC), we’ve been there. We understand how overwhelming the WorkSafe BC process can be – and we’re here to guide you through it with clarity, compassion, and results.
Disability Management That Works for Everyone.
Founded by Jason Thomas, who is a former Workers’ Compensation Board Chair and Disability Manager with the United Steelworkers union, alongside a workplace injury survivor, UCDC was built to put injured workers first. Whether you’re facing a physical injury, psychological claim, or return-to-work dispute, we’re your advocate from day one to resolution. But we don’t just support individuals – we also work with unions and employers to improve the systems around them. From one-on-one case advocacy to full-scale training workshops, UCDC helps create safer, smarter workplaces for everyone.

You Don’t Have to Navigate a Workplace Injury Alone.
Most workers have never filed a claim before. When an injury happens, the system can feel stacked against you. Delayed responses. Denied coverage. Pressure to return before you’re ready. At UCDC, we help you understand your rights, communicate with WorkSafe BC, and push back when things aren’t handled fairly.
We’ll work directly with you, your union, and your employer to
Manage your claim with WorkSafe BC
Plan safe and realistic return-to-work options
Coordinate assessments or appeal unfair decisions
Make sure you’re medically and financially supported
This isn’t just paperwork – it’s your life. We’re here to help protect it.
Building Stronger Unions Through Education and Advocacy.
UCDC partners with unions across BC to strengthen their disability support strategies and better protect their members. Our approach blends real-time case advocacy with long-term capacity building.
We offer:
- Representation for site visits and accommodation meetings
- Ongoing case consultation and return-to-work support
- One- and two-day workshops for stewards and committees
- Training on mental health claims, appeals, and maximizing pensions
When your team knows what to look for and how to respond, members get the support they need – without falling through the cracks.

Real Experience. Better Outcomes.
We know the system from every angle – worker, union, and employer. Our founder, Jason Thomas, spent over 15 years leading disability management for one of BC’s largest industrial unions, and his own workplace injury fuels our people-first approach. Backed by a former nurse and a team of legal consultants, we offer a rare combination of empathy, insight, and experience.
“ I have assisted injured workers through their WorkSafe BC physical and psychological injury claims with an overall accumulation of millions in entitled disability awards.”
