IRA M. TIFFIN, JR. , Petitioner v. WORKMEN'S COMPENSATION APPEALS BOARD OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA, NEW IDRIA MINING & CHEMICAL CO. , PACIFIC MUTUAL LIFE INS. Labor Code section 5500. 5 sets forth the statutory procedure for claims for occupational diseases arising from more than one employment. The compromise and release were approved by the referee two days later at a proceeding in which no testimony was taken. The referee extensively reviewed the numerous assertions made by petitioner and recommended that the petition for reconsideration be denied. We find that the record does not support petitioner's assertion that the procedure set forth in section 5500. 5 is oppressive and causes employee settlements.
