3/26 SF Conf-Corporate Medicine, Injured Workers, ACOEM And Labor

by California Coalition For Workers Memorial Day
There will be a national conference on Corporate Medicine, Injured Workers and ACOEM. This conference will look at how the insurance industry, drug companies and bosses have manipulated the medical industry to prevent proper treatment of injured workers. As a result of the corrupt American College for Occupational and Environmental Medicine (ACOEM) guidelines, workers in California are forced to take drugs and were even refused acupuncture treatment under these rules. This national conference was conducted in conjunction with the commemoration of the 100th anniversary of the Triangle Fire.
