You have probably heard that workers compensation laws are a "must" for anyone who works for a company. In New York, you must have workers compensation coverage for any injuries you sustain on the job. There are two ways to obtain workers compensation in New York. One way is to be covered by your employer’s workers compensation plan. If you are self-employed, you must have a separate policy. The other way is to purchase insurance from a workers compensation insurance company.

Many employers offer their employees the option of purchasing their own workers compensation insurance. However, this is not always the best choice. Sometimes, workers compensation insurance is less expensive than your employer’s insurance. Also, if you are an employee who is injured while working for a company, you do not need to purchase workers compensation insurance. Instead, you can file a claim with the workers compensation carrier of your employer.

If you are injured on the job and do not have workers compensation insurance, you must file a claim with the New York State Department of Labor. If your employer has workers compensation insurance, your claim will be processed and paid by the insurance company. If your employer does not have workers compensation insurance, you may be eligible to receive benefits from the state.

Description:  Real estate development conjures up images of gentrification with sleek buildings and polished store fronts often built under the guise of urban revitalization. Far too often, these projects displace long-standing residents and communities of color. What would it look like if real estate development were led by the people who already live in the neighborhood? In this episode, Laura interviews South Bronx native Majora Carter who decided to stay where she grew up and rewrite the playbook for neighborhood development. A self-described “chick from the hood… with zero experience in real estate,” she's a MacArthur “genius award” recipient, owner of the hip hop themed Boogie Down Grind Cafe that has survived and even thrived during Covid, thanks to a bit of help from Beyoncé. Carter is author of Reclaiming Your Community: You Don’t Have to Move Out Of Your Neighborhood To Live In A Better One, just out from Berrett-Koehler.

Hunts Point is the country’s largest wholesale produce market and it’s in the South Bronx. Workers there voted to strike on Sunday, January 17th. This past Saturday, after six days on the picket line, they popped champagne  to celebrate their agreement with management on a new contract. As they return to their jobs distributing food to New York’s grocery stores, it remains important to understand why these essential workers reached a breaking point and whether this is the first of more food industry labor struggles to come in 2021.

Fotograaf Richard Koek woont en werkt al achttien jaar in een van de meest gefotografeerde steden ter wereld: New York City. Het liefst zet hij de Amerikaanse helden van deze tijd – the working class heroes – op een voetstuk, terwijl hij beroemde Amerikanen die hij voor zijn lens krijgt juist ‘ontglamouriseert’. Lopend door de Bronx spreken we over scènes die hem visueel aanspreken, over de theorie van ‘het beslissende moment’ van Henri Cartier Bresson en over zelfcensuur.
