Session Description
As Tennessee commemorates the 100th anniversary of the passage of its Workers’ Compensation Act, it is important to revisit the historical underpinnings of that law, the societal changes leading to the enactment of such laws nationwide, and the important events in Tennessee that culminated in the “Grand Compromise.” This session will feature a panel of experts who studied that history and authored the Bureau’s new book, “A Century of Progress and Perspective: Workers’ Compensation in Tennessee.” Like most areas of the law that touch people where they live, the winding story of workers’ compensation’s one-hundred-year journey has, at times, not been without its share of controversy. Come learn the rest of the story!
