Trades and Labour Conference Recommends Workers Compensation Reforms
The Trades and Labour Conference in Wellington discussed the Workers Compensation Bill and adopted resolutions. It backs abolishing the common employment plea, broadening the worker definition, ensuring full wage during total incapacity, and partial wage difference during partial incapacity. It also opposes employer exemption from liability and seeks medical expense charges on employers. The bill’s hazardous occupation clause for falls over twelve feet would remove height language. A deputation will present the conference views to the Government, with the next conference slated for next year.
