"The governor and his allies are determined to institute changes to workers' compensation, but they have no desire to hear from the middle-class workers who will actually be impacted by their changes," he said in a statement. "As the governor insists on further changes, we owe it to the people directly affected by these changes to give them a seat at the table and a voice in the discussion, not just to hear from the corporate CEOs whispering in Gov. Rauner's ear."
