What was disputed, and how it came out
Each issue the panel decided, with the reasoning it gave. An outcome is what this panel did on this record — not a rule, and not a prediction.
The WCJ determined that the WCAB is not preempted by the LMRA from determining the location of applicant's hiring and that applicant was hired in California, creating jurisdiction. The defendants petitioned for reconsideration, which was granted, deferring final decision for further review.
