We're sorry, this alert is no longer available. If you would like to learn more about ways you can take action, please visit Kansas Workbeat Action Center.

The short explanation of this alert was:

Kansas legislators are refusing to address the plight of injured workers in Kansas. After decades of neglect, the workers compensation system is in shambles. Injured workers in Kansas receive the lowest benefits in our five-state region. And a recent decision by the Kansas Supreme Court that effectivelyeliminated disability benefits to severely injured workers has only made it worse.

Still, the Kansas Legislature refuses to address the problem.

In fact, the only time Kansas legislators acknowledge the work comp system at all is when the business or insurance lobbyists ask them to CUT worker benefits!

Most Kansans —94%— rely on the workers compensation to protect them and their family from financial ruin in case of a workplace accident. It’s long past time the Legislature started mending this important safety net for working Kansans.
