Industry Focuses on AAJ's Effort to Lobby for a Workers' Compensation National Commission

Industry has taken focus on the effort by AAJ's (American Association of Justice [formerly The American Trial Lawyers Association (ATLA (r)]) lobbying effort. Citing support of H.R. 635, a bill to establish a National Commission on State Workers' Compensation Laws, the Manhattan Institutes's blog has taken aim at the topics of speakers: Reinhardt, Galpern and Kohl, who are scheduled to speak at the AAJ annual meeting in San Francisco this summer.

The original 1972 National Commission Workers' Compensation Laws made 19 "essential recommendations." The US Department of Labor in 2004 compared the efforts by States to comply.
