Bills Aim to Extend Accident Compensation to 400000 Workers
The American Association for Labor Legislation reports two bills advancing in Congress to cover harbor workers and District of Columbia private employees. The Cummins-Graham measure would provide federal accident compensation for longshoremen and ship repairers, while the Fitzgerald bill targets DC private employments. The push cites coverage gaps, with states already offering benefits except the non industrial south and DC workers. The Senate already passed the harbor bill. the DC bill has been favorably reported in the House. In two states compensation remains a divisive issue with Missouri voters set to decide a 1925 act in November and Florida preparing a proposal for the next Legislature backed by both labor and employers.
