DESCRIPTION:
Los Angeles ? On Friday, April 16, 2004, injured workers from throughout the Los Angeles area will converge on the Ronald Regan State Office Building (300 S. Spring Street, Los Angeles) at 11:00 a.m. to rally in support of the Vocational Rehabilitation benefit that has allowed them to be retrained for reentry into the labor market. Workers in other cities, including Sacramento, will also gather in support of Vocational Rehabilition.

As lawmakers meet in Sacramento to vote on an overhaul of the state workers? compensation system, injured workers throughout the state are demanding that a fair and effective job retraining provision?Vocational Rehabilitation?be saved. Vocational Rehabilitation provides workers who have been injured on the job, and are so injured that they cannot return to work, with vocational counseling, targeting vocational retraining, and job search assistance.

The stopgap workers? compensation modification of 2003 discontinued Vocational Rehabilitation. As California strives to improve its economy, it must ensure that all of its residents have the vocational skills they need to be competitive members of the workforce. Vocational Rehabilitation must be reinstituted, so that those injured on the job are able to return to work. The California economy will ultimately suffer if injured workers are left to languish in disability-induced unemployment or underemployment.
