Group, Lumberman’s Mutual Casualty Co., Kaiser Permanente Medical Group.

The Workers Compensation Judge (“WCJ”) denied petitioners’ Petition for Class Certification. Petitioners filed a Motion for Reconsideration, which was also denied by the WCJ. The case is now before the Workers Compensation Appeals Board, in San Francisco, for review of the WCJ’s decisions regarding the Petition for Class Certification.
