NPR reports on workers’ compensation for military contractors

The NPR program Fresh Air broadcast a story on January 11 titled “Wounded in Wars, Civilian Face Care Battle At Home.” It is based on the reporting on T. Christian Miller and his series of articles, “Disposable Army.” The story discusses what happens to military contractors who are injured while working abroad, and the incredible difficulties they face trying to obtain workers’ compensation under the Defense Base Act. Definitely worth checking out.
