Food AND Medicine’s Worker Center of Eastern Maine held a press conference to speak out about how LR 2787 would how injured workers.
Thanks to those who made the press conference possible:
• Mark Richards, Dean Harding and Loren Snow, Workers’ Comp recipients who did a great job speaking about their experiences
• Rev. Mark Doty who gave a hard hitting moral judgement on our position!
• Matt Schlobohm- for supplying so much great information.
