hmong people and worker's comp.

[YAX]

Many Hmong people don't know about workers' comp.  They get injured on the job and they just go home without filing.  Maybe they're too afraid to file? Too afraid they'll get fired? Then they either quit or get themselves fired because their injury is keeping them from doing the job and once that period to file is over, they can't get help to fix their injuries.  Sometimes I get frustrated when I hear their sob stories.  It's like, if you're not smart or informed enough to know what to do, then ASK someone who knows! Don't let pride stop you from getting help when you need it.  It's too late now when you finally tell someone.

Well, I think Hmong people knows but they have too much of this honor belief. Because most accidents are by negligence(their own fault) so they felt it's on themselves and not workers' comp. Because that affects the company they worked for and possible termination afterwards.

Sometimes they're too sick to go to work but they go anyway because they don't want to call in sick.  Fear of getting fired?

Bro

Wait till all these low wage walmart worker
Start organizing and just walk out
The whole USA will come to a complete stop

The only reason why it hasn’t started
Is because they qualify for government assistance
For example:   $30k salary + medicaid ($10k)+ EBT $5k+ cash assistance

Etc...

When you add all those up
Its like they making $50k

hmong and worker's comp...it is due to the lack of knowledge but moreso..hmong are tough...we don't make claims like other people who have a paper cut and is out on medical leave, for weeks.  hmong people would rather work than be out of a job, we could be sick but if we're not on our death bed, we're showing up for work.  our dedication is what makes us valuable to employers.  some of us work to death (50-60 hours a week) because we have plans...plans to send money overseas and go overseas during new year! ha!

unless the work injury is the lost of limbs or severe enough that EMT are called, most would disregard it.

Excactly.  Those are the dumbasses who don't file for worker's comp when they are supposed to and then no one takes care of them when they can't afford to because the company took advantage of them and dumped them on those death beds.

i don't give advice but i do tell my fellow hmong, they have a 3 day grace period to file a claim, seek medical attention at no expense, and take a leave of absence until they're released of any restrictions.. ..go fishing or take a mandatory vacation.  if you lose a limb or seriously injured, go get an attorney.
