The Injured Workers Support Network (IWSN) Newcastle network will play host to Mr Mr Tim Crakanthorp MP at the first meeting for 2015.
\nInjured and ill workers and their families are invited to attend our meeting on the 6th of February starting Level 2 Newcastle Trades Hall Devonshire House, King Street. Newcastle.
\n\u201cInjured or ill workers and their families do it tough. The workers compensation system is a maze of conflicting agendas and ideologies. Injured Workers are caught like mice in the middle of this. Not only are they trying their hardest to overcome their injury but they have to continue to support their families, fight with insurance companies for their weekly pay and medical expenses and then try to get back to work before the boss fires them.\u201d Injured Worker Support Network Coordinator Rowan Kernebone said. \u201cThe IWSN network meetings give injured workers a safe place to vent, to lean on each other, learn from each other and work together for a better outcome, both personally and in changing the system that\u2019s stacked up against the injured worker\u201d.<\/p>\n
\u201cI am pleased that Mr Crakanthorp, as the new member for Newcastle, has agreed to attend and listen to the stories of our members.\u201d Rowan added.
\nThe Injured Workers Support Network assists and supports workers who have sustained work related injuries & disabilities; provides and shares information and experiences about the workers compensation system and the rights of injured & disabled workers, Forms networks between injured workers and other organisations that have similar aims and objectives and assists and encourages injured workers to establish links within their local community health system, Government Departments, organisations and other individual support groups who can assist injured workers.<\/p>\n
