CompFox AI Summary
In this case, the applicant, Kimberly Mason, sustained an injury to her left upper extremity while attending a union rally. The WCJ initially ruled she was not an employee of S.E.I.U. Local 721, but the Board granted reconsideration. Applying the principles from Jones v. Workman's Comp. Appeals Bd., the Board found that the applicant was rendering services for the union, and the provision of transportation, food, and water constituted compensation. Consequently, the Board rescinded the WCJ's finding and substituted a new finding that the applicant was indeed an employee of S.E.I.U. Local 721 at the time of her injury.
