The Rann government is planning serious cuts to compensation for injured workers. The Labor Club supports the rights of injured workers.
As SA Unions has noted,
* Injured workers' pay will be cut by 20% after only 13 weeks
* Almost everyone will receive no pay after 2 and a half years
* Injured workers will have their pay suspended if they dispute a decision about their claim
* The amount injured workers receive for loss of a limb or body function will be less and always at the discretion of the WorkCover Board.
This legislation presents a serious threat to workers' rights. Please show your support for injured workers and sign the petition.
We, the undersigned, urge the Premier to reconsider the Workers Rehabilitation and Compensation (Scheme Review) Amendment Bill. We are concerned that the proposed scheme will severely disadvantage injured workers.
We urge the Premier to consult with unions in developing a financially sound scheme that protects the rights of injured workers.
