migrant labor and workers compensation

[Guest guest]

I am a professional in the workers compensation field and a frequent

writer on that topic in the trade press. I am writing an article

promoting the need for coverage in all states of agricultural

workers. Some states exclude these workers from workers comp

benefits.

The article will probably featres Arkansas, which does not cover

these workers, but I can refer to other states as well.

I would much apreciate an insights into this issue, inlcuding an

documented cases of real harm to workers for either lack of coverage

or illegal behavior by employers.

You can reach me via the groups or, preferably, directly as well at

pfr@...

Thanks,
