Opinion
HANING, J.
Terry L. Barns was discharged from his employment with Areata Redwood Company (Areata) due to a disability caused by on-the-job injuries. He applied to the Workers’ Compensation Appeals Board (Board) for benefits under Labor Code section 132a, 1 which prohibits discrimination against industrially injured workers. The workers’ compensation judge (WCJ) and Board found that Arcata’s conduct did not violate the statute. We issued a writ of review to consider whether this determination is supported by substantial evidence and correct legal principles. We conclude that it is not.
