WorkCover - background to a betrayal

Go to the box widget at the right of the page to view this very informative background piece about the current standoff between the State Government and the trade union movement in SA. It was written by someone well-placed to witness the shameful process of betrayal of the workers of the state by the government. The author was a Workers Compensation Advocate employed for the past 14 years by the CFMEU (Forestry and Furnishing Trades Division). He was actively involved in workers’ compensation since 1979 and from April 1987 to June 1994 was a WorkCover Board member.
