On February 13, 2016, hours after Justice Antonin Scalia died, Senator Chuck Grassley joined Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell in pledging not to give a formal hearing to any Supreme Court nominee put forth by the president. “It only makes sense that we defer to the American people who will elect a new president to select the next Supreme Court Justice.”
When did what "makes sense" stop making sense? Years ago, I voted for Grassley along with Harkin because I thought balanced representation in the Senate best suited Iowa. Seeing his hypocrisy saddens me.
I have had a number of people ask me whether you can pursue a workers' compensation claim if you contract COVID-19 due to a workplace exposure. The simple answer to that question is "yes." Contracting COVID-19, or any other communicable disease, at work is a basis for pursuing a workers' compensation claim. Fortunately, most people who are unfortunate enough to have the virus are able to recover without much in the way of complications. However, many aren't as fortunate and end up with long term complications or death. For those people and their families, our workers' compensation system exists as a safety net to help make up for some of the losses they experience. This is a valuable resource that should not be overlooked simply because it doesn't sound like a typical workplace injury claim.
Very proud to be a long time member of the Iowa Association for Justice.
