WORKCOVER UPDATE
The
Rann Government today released in Parliament the report into
WorkCover. Legislation is to be considered by the Government
tomorrow, and could be introduced into Parliament as early as
tomorrow.
The
Premier has stated that the Government has not yet determined how it
will respond to the recommendations to cut payments to injured
workers.
PSA,
together with SA Unions, will not stand by and allow injured workers
to be further harmed by loss of pay.
PSA
members roles are to look after the community and SA families. It is
unacceptable for those injured in performing these roles to suffer
further loss.
PSA
members deliver and implement Government policy. They should not be
injured carrying out these policies and suffer loss of pay.
We
urge the Government to reject the recommendations of the WorkCover
Board.
