Already Have an Ombudsman?

Your Ombudsman is underpaid, overworked, and not equipped to adequately handle their high caseload. Every day, injured workers report that it’s hard to get their ombudsman to return their calls. We’ve even heard credible reports of ombudsmen missing deadlines and (illegally) giving bad legal advice.
