Very well said, Tom.
I agree that it's imperative that workers write and call their legislators, the Governor and the press about this "employer bought" work comp system we have.
When you call or write you're representing thousands of Oregonians. These "elected" officials realize this and will for political survival act in the "peoples" best interest.
The efforts of injured workers have already had a positive affect in the lives of thousands but if more Oregonians would spend the couple hours each month to write and call we can reverse this anti-worker system so lives aren't destroyed everyday for solely political reasons.
Any worker can be injured in a moments time so please take the time to make Oregon Workers' Compensation a humane system.
