I would like to know if anyone has had any luck with repetitive
strain injury claims? I have a rotor cuff injury in the
shoulder because of dealing for five years and the casino says
that our job is not repetitive and is not causing the injury..
How do other dealers handle the pain and has anyone out there won
their claims with worker's comp? Please respond. We need
help.

If
you check through our web site in the Letters and in NFGE News,
you'll find some information about RMS. The bottom line is that
the casinos will always try to deny that it's work related because
to do otherwise would cost them money.
First thing to do is to contact OSHA. They are under the
U.S. Dept. of Labor. Eventually, you may also need a lawyer but
you must be tenacious. These casinos will try to stonewall you in
hopes you'll just give up. Stick with it.
By the way, where do you work? Write me, you can give me
your name......it will always be held in confidence.
Regards,
