Jansen, J.
(dissenting). For the reasons stated in my dissents in Bach v Flint Bd of Ed, 197 Mich App 247; — NW2d — (1992), and Boyle v Detroit Bd of Ed, 197 Mich App 255; — NW2d — (1992), I cannot accept the majority’s application of an essentially standardless objective-employee standard for the determination of an individual employee’s specific workers’ compensation claim. The Workers’ Disability Compensation Act is remedial legislation that should be construed to effectuate its purpose. McAvoy v H B Sherman Co, 401 Mich 419; 258 NW2d 414 (1977); Loper v Cascade Twp, 135 Mich App 106; 352 NW2d 357 (1984).
