Illinois state representative John Bradley has introduced a bill in the Illinois House to repeal the Illinois Workers Compensation Act. Bradley, a Democrat from Marion, Illinois, reportedly has characterized this as a response to the efforts by the business community to change the causation standard in Illinois Workers Compensation so that the workplace must be the primary cause of a covered injury or illness.
That's right--a Democrat in Illinois has introduced a bill to abolish the Workers Compensation Act. Now, it seems pretty clear that such a proposal will go nowhere, that is intended merely as some kind of protest, but even so...WTF, as they say on the internets.
