Great news for Maine workers: MAINE SENATE ENACTS BILL TO ADVANCE WORKERS’ PROTECTIONS Senator Patrick’s legislation will allow injured workers to bring representation when they are being examined by their employer’s doctor AUGUSTA- Today the Senate voted unanimously “under the hammer” to enact Democratic Senator John Patrick’s legislation to ensure fair treatment for workers who have been injured on the job through no fault of their own. “This is about fairness for hard-working men and women who have been injured and may need support as they move through what can be a confusing process,” said Senator Patrick. “Injured workers deserve the opportunity to bring a family member, coworker, or union representative with them when they are being examined by a company doctor.” For decades, the United Steel Workers Local 900 at the Rumford NewPage pulp and paper mill represented injured members who requested assistance at medical appointments and related Human Resources interviews. Last year, without giving a cause for changing the policy, the mill decided to stop this practice. “Local 900 officers have represented our members in these medical interviews… for around 20 years,” said Ron Hemingway, President of USW Local 900, at the public hearing on the bill. “There have been no problems with this process and the company has failed to provide a credible reason [for ending the practice].” Matt Schlobohm, Executive Director of the Maine AFL-CIO testified in support of the bill at its public hearing, and explained that when examined by employer-selected healthcare providers, injured workers often feel the report issued varies from what was said in the provider’s office, which can result in a he-said/she-said situation. “Allowing someone to accompany an injured worker when they are seeing a company selected provider guarantees a witness to the proceedings,” said Schlobohm. The bill, LD 1641, “An Act To Amend the Workers Compensation Laws as They Pertain to Employee Representation,” will now be sent to Governor LePage.
