Workers’ Comp bill puts politics before worker safety

Nearly 105,000 Ohio workers were hurt at work in 2015, and more than 200 lost their lives. Families depend on the Workers’ Compensation system to make sure that when a breadwinner is hurt at work, she gets treated, and the family has an income to rely on while she recovers. But a provision in this year’s Bureau of Workers’ Compensation budget (HB 27)  would bar that protection for undocumented immigrants – putting them and their coworkers in harm’s way.

This bill has already passed the Ohio House. Write your senator let them know workers’ comp should protect all workers.
