George Floyd and Bias
<p>With so much happening in the world right now Attorney Kate Kirsch, The Accidental Lawyer, takes a break from our story of Joe. You can’t turn on the TV, social media, or the internet without seeing the frustration with people over what happened to George Floyd in Minneapolis. Bias exists, whether or not we want to see it…or admit it. This week Kate exams such biases that exist in the New York Workers Compensation system. If we are finally going to address biases as an intelligent society, then let’s leave no stone unturned…including the New York Workers’ Compensation system. The system is flawed, it does have biases, and now is the time to act. This is an important episode whether you are somehow involved with the Workers Compensation system, or just someone going through the process yourself. It’s time to fix things.</p> <p><strong>Host:</strong></p> <p>Kate Kirsch</p> <p><strong>Links:</strong></p> <p><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_Floyd"><strong>George Floyd</strong></a></p> <p><a href="http://www.wcb.ny.gov/">NY State Workers’ Compensation Board</a></p>

Also, this week the carrier raises the issue of “Voluntary Removal from the Labor Market” to Joe. What does that mean? In short, Joe needs to get a job. What does that entail though?
