This situation is tough , I didnt think that jocks could be unionized because they have tried before and failed but I guess they had to do something if they didnt want to be in the Guild anymore.

I dont get what the big deal is about increasing on sight insurance policy for accidents , Im sure the owner of the race track has a really nice fat insurance policy covering a patron falling down the steps and I bet it doesnt have a 100,000.00 or even 500,000.00 ceiling on it .
While I agree that jockeys should pay for their own health insurance just like the rest of America , I dont agree that accident insurance should be limited.
The way it is now there are a whole lot of people that are leaving themselves wide open for lawsuits when a rider gets hurt and the accident insurance doesnt cover all the expenses.
