Collectively Bargained Workers’ Compensation (CBWC) is a different take on the usual workers' comp system, set up through deals made between a union and its partner contractors. It uses a custom Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) approach, has a list of pre-approved medical providers, and involves teamwork between labor and management. All this makes the process of dealing with workers’ comp claims smoother and more straightforward.
• You get access to top-notch medical care.
• There's a savvy, hands-on guide – the Ombudsperson – to help you through the claims maze.
• Injured workers get better and back to work quicker.
• A quick and easy way to sort out arguments – ADR – which cuts down on time and hassle.
• A tried-and-true way to keep a check on claims expenses.
• A strategy to avoid or tone down costly and drawn-out legal battles.
We're pretty sure you'll see some big cost savings in your overall workers’ comp program if you jump into the Painters & Allied Trades ADR Insurance Program.
