[QUOTE="UPS JEFF, post: 80500"] August 23rd of 2005 I was diagnosed with Leukemia. They had consolidated like make/year trucks into our bldg.6 months prior and I had written my truck up numerous times for strong exhaust fumes in cab/unsafe to drive. The causes of leukemia are Benzine, exhaust fumes and burning oil. I have been on short-term disability for 6 months collecting $300/week and the 23rd of this month I go to long-term disability with Met Life and it goes to $2,000/month. After 6 months you must get Cobra coverage to the tune of $1,033/month. I have been with UPS for 21 years. During my first 19 day hospital stay I was not contacted once by UPS management and have only had 4 phone calls in 6 months--the last 2 were for an approx. return date. My 401k money is not assessable, because major medical is not one of UPS's guidelines for withdrawals----I know what some of you are going to say---it is retirement money, but who plans on having cancer. As far as being on the job--I would have to prove that the leukemia came from my UPS truck. Workers Comp covers UPS's liability in the state of Colorado--right to work----trust me I have checked into all options. Jeff [/QUOTE]
