Nor are we going to try to get you to believe that the motto "There
is power in numbers" was originated by us or created especially for us. That is simply not true either! That cliche has
been around for many years and no one really knows who originated it, but many people like to use it because it sounds
so good!
And we're not just after your money! Although it does cost us a
considerable amount to run this organization and produce the television show, if you can't afford $25.00 to join, we'll
simply waive the membership fee. Every little bit helps deliver a message to the insurance companies that it's not
"Business As Usual" anymore!
And most of all, we're not going to make promises to you that we
know we can't keep, just to get your support. That is just absolutely wrong!
We are an educational organization. We HELP injured workers!
We are advocates for the occupationally disabled. We go to bat for those falsely accused of Workers' Compensation fraud
by insurance carriers and county district attorneys eager to obtain fraud fighting money from the state Fraud Assessment
Commission by any means possible.
Our primary goal is to put an end to the rampant fraud and corruption
perpetrated upon America's injured workers by the insurance industry and their legislative friends. To aid and assist
those who are genuinely serious about bringing back some legitimacy to America's Workers' Compensation systems, a system
that now is controlled by a corrupt and out-of-control insurance industry, that has our legislators pimping and pandering
influence in exchange for their political contributions.
To stop the proliferation of insurer and employer fraud. This
White Collar fraud is a primary reason that our Workers' Compensation systems are so dysfunctional, with insurance
carriers hiding behind the "Exclusive Remedy" provisions of state Labor Codes to shield them from legal liability
for their criminal acts, post injury!
Our secondary goal is to aid, assist, educate, inform and empower injured
workers around this country to better understand how to navigate thru an ever complicated Workers' Compensation system
and not become victims of overzealous insurance carriers and their investigators. One way we accomplish this is through
www.noiw.org, a full-featured website, not a glorified blog that others
try to pass off. But hey, we have one of those too, located at blog.noiw.org.
They are both very important information resources for injured workers!
Who are our members? Our membership consists of injured workers,
doctors, treaters, interpreters, private investigators, attorneys, and even a few insurance claims examiners, (the good
guys who give injured workers the respect and dignity that they deserve, and are) committed to "protecting the rights
and dignity of injured workers" all across America.
Many of these folks are in the trenches attending Workers' Compensation hearings and conferences on a daily basis. They
know first-hand the obstacles and troubles facing injured workers. Others are those who want to see a real reform come
to America's Workers' Compensation systems, and bring back some form of fairness and equity to this benefits delivery
system that is so vital to every state.
This is the 21st century, and injured workers need to use 21st century
technology and tactics to get their voice heard by those who can help make the changes that are necessary.
We own and operate our own internet infrastructure and maintain our
own servers. We are beholding to no one! Our Information Systems personnel oversee an innovative technologically advanced
client/server computer system that enables us to track, report, and use a myriad of complex data on a daily basis. Our
Information Systems personnel service the National Organization of Injured Workers and allow us to be able to adapt to
change quickly. They are also responsible for all computer and data processing needs and requirements involving a broad
range of activities.
We produce the Injured On
The Job television program distributed to Community and Public
Access television stations around the country. It's goal is to is to aid, assist, educate, inform and empower injured
workers around the country to better understand how to navigate thru the Workers' Compensation systems in their state.
We produce Custom Video
Programming made specifically for the web and stream it via our servers and You Tube. We also create
informational DVD's to educate, inform and empower injured workers and others. We have access to "state of the
art" digital video production facilities in San Francisco and Sacramento, California.
We are NOT a political organization. Political organizations are
simply about money and power, plain & simple. They want your money and then they have the power, not you! America
has too many political organizations as it is. That's part of the problem.
If you're tired of playing footsie with politicians, then you're the
person we're looking for. Injured workers need help and they need it now, not in 2 years!
How do I join? That's a very easy task. Simply, click on the "How To
Join" button on the navigation bar at the top of the page or go to the "How To Join" page,
and fill out the form as best you can. Remember your phone number is very important or we can't reach you.
Help us help injured workers all over America, and bring some
fairness and equity back to the Workers' Compensation system.
