After decades of skyrocketing insurance premiums and prolonged litigation over injured worker benefits, construction trade unions and their employers persuaded Minnesota's legislature to pass legislation in 1995 allowing for an alternative workers compensation system. The goals of the Program were simple: focus attention on a safe and immediate return to light-duty work, ensure the best medical treatment protocols are followed, and achieve a return to pre-injury wages and benefits as soon as possible. The results since 1997 have exceeded expectations. Listen to the Collectively Bargained Workers Compensation: Improving Outcomes for Employers and Employees podcast for more information.
