Farmworkers union pushes for WCB coverage in Alberta farming
Eric Musekamp of the Farmworkers Union of Alberta urges extending mandatory worker's compensation to farmworkers. He asks health minister Fred Horne and opposition health critics to back including agriculture under OHS and WCB, arguing costs should be borne by industry, not taxpayers. Barnetson backs estimating health costs shifted to the system due to no WCB coverage.
