In this powerful episode, we dive deep into the challenges faced by federal employees when it comes to workers' compensation claims. Tom, a passionate advocate and partner at Federal Injury Centers, shares his ongoing fight in Washington D.C. to push for the passage of H.R. 618 (The Walberg Bill) – a crucial piece of legislation that would empower nurse practitioners and physician assistants to certify injury reports without needing an MD's countersignature.Tom also sheds light on the struggles federal workers face when dealing with uncooperative agencies, supervisors, and injury compensation specialists who often deny rightful claims. He discusses the importance of standing up for employees' rights, providing tips on how listeners can take action by contacting their U.S. senators and advocating for this bill.Key Topics Discussed:The Walberg Bill (H.R. 618) and its potential impact on federal employeesThe roadblocks employees encounter when filing workers' compensation claimsHow to contact senators and push for changes in federal injury reportingThe crucial role of unions in advocating for employees' rightsStories of federal workers facing mistreatment, physical threats, and harassment at workJoin the fight and learn how you can take action to support federal employees!#HR618 #FederalEmployees #WorkersRights #LobbyingForYou #FederalInjuryCenters #WorkersCompensationWebsite for Locations. www.federalinjurycenters.comContact: 877-787-OWCP or message us FacebookTo Buy The Book: www.breakingowcp.comTo Email information: [email protected] Us on Facebook, YouTube, LinkedIn, Instagram @Wednesday Night OWCP Chats with Chris & Gini
