Injured Union Workers’ Rights

Yes, injured Illinois union workers have rights also.

If injured on the job, you are entitled to have related medical treatment for your injuries paid.

If the doctor takes you off work, you are entitled to 2/3rds of your weekly wages.

Finally, you are entitled to payment for your work injury. This is called the settlement or award. Many insurance companies will neglect to pay you for your work injuries. Make sure that you get your settlement payment.
