Bill that would remove gender bias in the Workers Compensation system in California turned down by Governor

Has California taken a step back on equal gender workman's compensation rights by the current refusal of proposition of AB305 by Governor Jerry Brown?

A bill that could have got rid of an element of the law that often affects women that sustain accidents at work by barring gender related characteristics for instance pregnancy and menopaouse from the so called "pre-existing conditions" when determining a claim.

The Workers Compensation insurance company keeps on screwing women workers by exploiting a loophole of the so call "pre-existing conditions". Although, the workers' compensation law plainly states that it's illegal to deny a claim based on a person's gender, age, religion or any other person characteristics.

Assembly woman Lorena Gonzales firmly disagrees with the position that the California governor has taken on this matter. This bill would have eradicated the gender bias against female personnel under the current workers Compensation structure that under the current law, forces the treating doctor to include in his report an apportionment of the percentage proximity of the disability triggered by the job actions versus other elements. One of these components being so called "pre-existing conditions" that often screws the female workers.

This bill would have also restrained psychiatric disability or impairment cause by any of those conditions, or by contemporaneous instance of sexual harassment, from being considered when apportioning a work injury. In addition, AB 305 would have prohibited from breast cancer caused from the job to receive a much lower workers compensation rating than a male's prostate cancer.
