Unemployment Insurance
Maine has one of the lowest fraud rates in the country. LD 1725 is a total red herring and will hurt those who should be able to access unemployment insurance.
Workers’ Compensation
Workers compensation rates have gone down dramatically in the last several years and there is no need for LD 1571. This legislation will hurt those who have been injured on the jobs already.
Collective Bargaining Rights
Any attack on the freedom to assemble is troubling. Even more troubling is this attack on agricultural workers rights, who often toil under harsh working conditions with low pay.
