Today’s post comes from guest author Rod Rehm, from Rehm, Bennett & Moore.
Nebraska held a primary election last week. Our television, radio and social media networks were flooded with messages from big-business organizations with little or no connection to our state. Millions of dollars poured in from nameless, faceless donors from other states.
Injured workers’, their families and people who care about injured workers’ should be concerned about this.
Big-business groups generally do not support candidates and laws that are good for injured workers’. These groups push for limitations in benefits, limitations on health care, and judges with business-favorable histories.
The general election this fall will be important because many state senators who have been great friends and protectors of injured workers’ are going to be replaced by new senators. Workers need to pay attention to the candidates and learn whether the candidates stand for the working people or the big businesses.
Vote for the candidates who care more about injured people than business profits.
