Additional Case 12.2
Tri-State Shipping employs 45 workers. They ship commodities across the country. Until recently, they had only legally required benefits, but business has become very profitable and they can now offer their employees more benefits.
The average age of their employees is 50. Most employees have been there for more than 20 years, and the company prides itself on keeping workers. The majority of the jobs require heavy lifting or the operation of heavy equipment for loading and unloading trucks, trains, etc. Their workers' compensation tax has been running about 5% per year. They are in one of the lowest workers' compensation tax rate states, but TSS has had a lot of injuries. The lifting required and type of equipment used tends to result in a lot of sprained backs, mashed fingers, or bruised muscles. When workers are injured, they tend to heal quickly and return to work quickly.
