The employers say the quiet part out loud: "Let injured workers continue to financially suffer until we negotiate more takeaways from them." Remember when the cost savings of the "reforms" of 2012 were supposed to be divided EQUALLY between employers and injured workers? NEVER HAPPENED.

This is long overdue. Virtually all benefit systems have some sort of cost-of-living adjustment built-in except PPD. $290 of 2013 PPD is currently worth $202.94 in 2026 dollars when adjusted for inflation. That 2013 PPD buys a lot less for injured workers is the cost of everything since 2013 has tripled or quadrupled, making the PPD compensation inadequate.
