We were sidelined in compo leaflet: unions

UNIONS have been deliberately sidelined in new leaflets prepared by WorkCover NSW, the state's peak union body says.

Unions NSW secretary Mark Lennon said it was concerning that a new fact sheet advising sick and injured workers on how to make compensation claims and resolve disputes made no mention of trade unions.

Similar documents had always done so in the past, Mr Lennon said.

"People should always be made aware of their rights to seek information from various sources, including from their union," he told AAP on Wednesday.

Mr Lennon said sick or injured workers were vulnerable and often needed assistance arguing their cases.

The new fact sheet comes after the state government last year passed wide-ranging WorkCover reforms designed to help rein in a deficit of more than $4 billion.

Benefits and medical expenses were capped and journey claims axed for many workers.

"I think this makes the situation even more difficult," Mr Lennon said.

WorkCover could not be reached for comment on Wednesday night.
