The Construction Industry Is Leading The Opposition To Section 112 On Workers' Compensation
Groups that have endorsed the Gorton-Rockefeller substitute include: National Federation of Independent Business, National Association of Manufacturers, National Association of Wholesalers-Distributors, and the U.S. Chamber of Commerce. Opponents include trial attorneys and consumer groups. The chemical industry is concerned that the "reduction of damages for misuse or alteration" language in section 105 could be misconstrued. The construction industry is leading the opposition to section 112 on workers' compensation subrogation because they say it would increase workers' compensation litigation and increase costs for employers. Concerned groups include the Associated General Contractors of America, Associated Builders and Contractors, Inc., Alliance of American Insurers, American Insurance Association, and the National Association of Home Builders.
