Workers’ compensation costs in Washington add to the state’s uncompetitive business climate. Proposed double-digit increases from the state’s Department of Labor and Industries (L&I) in recent months have fueled frustration with a complicated, but critical area of business costs over which employers in the private, public and non-for-profit sectors have little control.
