This case is an appeal from an Order of the lower court denying Petitioner’s motion to compel arbitration by his employer.
The appellant, while in the course of his employment, was injured in an automobile accident caused by an uninsured motorist. The appellant received workmen’s compensation benefits from his employer and then demanded uninsured motorist benefits. The employer, appellee herein, denied these benefits. The appellant then filed a Petition to Compel Arbitration citing Modesta v. SEPTA, 503 Pa. 437, 469 A.2d 1019 (1983). This petition was denied and this appeal followed.
The appellant claims that because of the holding in Modesta, that self-insureds are required to maintain uninsured motorist coverage under the Uninsured Motorist Act,1 he is entitled to such benefits.
*34The appellee, in its brief, contends that the appellant’s recovery is limited to the benefits received under the Workmen’s Compensation Act.2
The lower court, in its opinion, cited Wagner v. National Indemnity Co., 492 Pa. 154, 422 A.2d 1061 (1980), for the authority that workmen’s compensation is the exclusive means of recovery for an employee injured in the scope of his employment. The lower court correctly stated that while Modesta holds that self-insurers must provide uninsured motorist coverage such insurance does not compel coverage to an employee covered by workmen’s compensation, but is reserved for those not injured in the course of their employment.
We affirm.
In Turner v. SEPTA, 256 Pa.Super. 43, 389 A.2d 591 (1978) (a unanimous opinion by the full Court), an employee of SEPTA was injured in a collision between the bus he was driving and another vehicle. This Court, in denying the employee’s claim for no-fault benefits, stated that an injured employee’s sole remedy against his employer is the Workmen’s Compensation Act. Section 303, 77 P.S. § 481(a) of the Workmen’s Compensation Act states as follows:
“(a) The liability of an employer under this act shall be exclusive and in place of any and all other liability to such employes, his legal representative, or wife, parents, dependents, next of kin or anyone otherwise entitled to damages in any action at law or otherwise on account of any injury or death as defined in section 301(c)(1) and (2) or occupational disease as defined in section 108.” (Emphasis supplied)
This section of the Act, as amended, became effective on February 3, 1975. The Uninsured Motorist Act, as amended, became effective on January 1, 1969. We believe the language and reasoning in the Turner case can be applied to a claim by an employee for uninsured motorists benefits *35as well as No-fault benefits. In Footnote No. 2 in Turner, it is stated:
“2. Were we to decide that the Workmen’s Compensation Act and the No-fault Act were in any manner irreconcilable, the iron-clad exclusivity provision contained in the 1974 amendment to Section 303 would control. ‘Whenever the provisions of two or more statutes enacted finally during the same General Assembly are irreconcilable, the statute latest in date of final enactment irrespective of its effective date, shall prevail.’ Statutory Construction Act, Act of May 28, 1937, P.L. 1019, art. IV, § 65, 46 P.S. § 565.
“We are of the opinion that if any exception had been created by the No-fault Act, the legislature would surely have seen fit to incorporate the exception when it amended Section 303 of the Workmen’s Compensation Act. ‘Any question as to the intention of the legislature that the remedy created by the Workmen’s Compensation Act be exclusive is removed by [the 1974 amendment].’ ...” The opinion of the majority in Wagner, supra, relied on
Turner and upheld its reasoning despite a strong attack made by the minority. It should also be observed that the Modesta Court in Footnote No. 3 stated that the Uninsured Motorist Act and the No-Fault Act “both ... relate to the same class of persons and deal with the same subject, they are in pari materia and must be construed together.”
We believe that the legislature has clearly indicated its intentions to exclude employees injured in the scope of their employment from both No-fault and Uninsured Motorists’ benefits, leaving their only remedy the benefits under the Workmen’s Compensation Act.
Affirmed.
