Alliance Goals

Many important issues for injured workers are unresolved and subject to future Workers' Compensation Board regulation and interpretation.

For these reasons, the New York Workers' Compensation Alliance must remain vigilant in defending the rights of injured workers.  We will work closely with  the Workers' Compensation Board and our friends in both the State Assembly and the State Senate to protect the due process rights of injured workers.   Our Legislative Counsel continues to work tirelessly on our behalf in the corridors and back rooms of the Capitol in Albany. 

Please become a member of the NYWCA and join the Alliance's fight to protect injured workers.  As you can imagine, there are substantial costs to have our  voices heard in Albany.  The entire Board of Directors of the NYWCA serves voluntarily and without any remuneration.  Our costs are primarily related to supporting our legislative counsel, maintaining our internet presence and contributing to candidates that share our belief that injured workers deserve swift and fair compensation and medical care, in addition to to a hearing upon request at the Workers' Compensation Board. 

Please  consider joining the NYWCA today and return to this site for future legislative updates.  If you have any questions regarding membership or other activities of the New York Workers' Compensation Alliance, please contact the Alliance.
