Carve-Outs In Workers' Compensation: An Analysis Of The Experience In The California Construction Industry, David I. Levine, Frank Neuhauser, Richard Reuben, Jeffrey S. Petersen, Cristian Echeverria

Upjohn Press

Employers and unions in several states during the 1990s were allowed to "carve out" their own workers' compensation systems. These innovative reforms gave the parties the right to collectively bargain their own systems outside the statutory systems. In addition, alternative dispute resolution (ADR) systems were implemented in order speed the legal process and reduce litigation costs. This book offers an evaluation of the first few years' experience with these organizational reforms in California.
