Greater Rochester Chamber of Commerce joined nearly five dozen organizations calling for workers’ compensation reform in New York State. The coalition sent a letter outlining its concerns to legislative leaders in Albany.
Rochester Chamber President and CEO Bob Duffy said, “Greater Rochester Chamber of Commerce is pleased to join 58 other employer organizations statewide calling for much-needed workers’ compensation reform. New York employers pay the third highest workers’ compensation costs in the nation and the burden is borne by any organization with a payroll. This issue consistently ranks as one of the top five areas of concern for Rochester Chamber members. The time for action is now. Greater Rochester Chamber of Commerce strongly urges state leaders to follow through on the reforms outlined in the coalition letter this budget session.”
