Everyone deserves the peace of mind that getting hurt or sick on the job won’t put their financial security at risk. Since its inception, workers’ compensation (the nation’s first social insurance program!) has helped make that promise real. We were delighted to host Workers’ Compensation 101, a Lunch-and-Learn designed to explore the history of and philosophy behind this essential program, what it means for workers and their families today, and how we can modernize it for the economy we have today.
This continues our Lunch-and-Learn series, designed to offer accessible introductions to the social insurance programs that help all of us navigate life’s risks.
Speakers included:
- Michael C. Duff, William C. Wefel Center for Employment Law, Saint Louis University School of Law
- Alan Pierce, Pierce, Pierce, & Napolitano
