A group fighting for injured workers wants an independent inquiry into the workers compensation system.
The Pictou County Injured Workers Association told a legislature committee the system needs an overhaul. Mary Lloyd says the system is geared toward keeping down costs for a small number of large employers that account for most workplace injuries.
