i received the following information today from a state archivist - if it's true - it likely means that there is NO legal basis whatsoever for the present system of worker's compensation.
"SB905 from 1913 (chapter 176) was not a constitutional amendment, and therefore was not voted on by the electorate. The Governor approved this act on June 2, 1913, and it went into effect immediately."
this of course, in
1913, altered the constitution without a vote of the people and among other
things, took due process out of the system in return for setting us up with
what i believe was referred to as a satisfactory system that was supposed to
make everyone happy - injured workers and employers alike - and what did we the
people and employers of California actually get - an epic con job that made
California into the private playground of lawyers, doctors, law enforcement
groups, un-elected judges and civil servants that were asleep at the wheel of a
multiple billion dollar series of scandals that looted not only the industry
but the state and the public's trust too.
