July marks the 50th anniversary of the National Commission on State Workmen’s Compensation laws. The system we have in place wasn’t always so. Even after the passage of protections for workers, it took years to develop today’s standards. In 1972, a federal panel released a comprehensive review of state Workmen’s Compensation (as it was then called) laws and guidelines. As Alan explains, several states had to readjust their systems. Our current system is a complex and delicate balance of federal and state oversight, adequate protections, and employer insurance costs. Fifty years after the initial report, is it time to review Workers’ Compensation? The workplace has changed, the shift to gig working may be leaving many behind in the “new economy.” On July 11, the U.S. Department of Labor hosts a public roundtable on the topic featuring Alan Pierce.You can register to join online as stakeholders across the workplace safety and protection community discuss the future of Workers’ Compensation.
