The PDCA-IBPAT LMCC workers' compensation program is overseen by the Southern California Painter and Decorators Labor Management Cooperation Committee (LMCC). The LMCC is comprised of a balanced board of union and management members, similar to your health and welfare and pension plans.

Among other things, the LMCC approves the lists of doctors and vocational rehabilitation consultants that can provide services to injured union employees. The LMCC hires the ombudsman, mediators, and arbitrators to assist in answering injured worker questions and resolving disputes.

Your program is designed to deliver high quality medical care, expedite delivery of benefits, and provide access to an impartial expert for help in resolving problems. Members of the LMCC want you to obtain the benefits to which you are entitled and receive quality medical care and it is AOE's aim that claims are resolved and problems are solved without resort to lengthy and costly litigation.

Members of the LMCC are very concerned you obtain benefits which you are entitled and that you receive the quality medical care which will assist in returning you to your employment at the earliest possible time.

Please contact the ombudsman if you have any questions regarding your AOE adr program for workers' compensation, your medical services or what you need to do to help resolve your claim.
