11-10-25; Has the Illinois Work Comp Defense Group Painted Itself into a Corner? Changes Proposed for IL WC Burial Benefit and more

The challenge to the rule came from a group known as Save Jobs USA, who believe that H-1B visas are taking jobs that should be given to American workers.
Regardless, this outcome was undoubtedly a relief for families living and working in the U.S. on an H-1B primary worker’s visa and an H-4 visa, which allows the spouses
