Calls needed to save workers' compensation benefits

Our workers’ comp system continues to come under attack from the business community. We need you to call NOW! To tell your legislators not to cut workers’ comp benefits.

So:
Call 1-800-562-6000. Tell your legislators to oppose any bill that would cut workers’ comp benefits. 
  • Tell them to support HB 2002, HB 1869 and SB 5801 because this state has proven methods to address injured workers by providing up front medical care and getting workers back to work faster.
    Our workers’ comp system is a critical safety net that helps the 150,000 workers injured on the job every year.  Learn more at WSLC.org
