Do you smell the sellout?
The Governor and the democratic leaders of the legislature announced an increase in the minimum wage. (link unavailable) Buried in the story is a minor concession for "some" injured workers, the right to select their own treating physician. Did Perata and Nunez sellout permanently injured workers in return for the political capital they can gain by raising the minimum wage? We will know by August 31. That was the date Perata promised to have a bill that would increase permanent disability benefits on the Governor's desk. And by the way, where is Angelides on the workers' compensation issue? He appears to be missing in action. > posted by Charles Wear > 8/22/06; 4:38:26 AM |
