[QUOTE="ol'browneye, post: 349910, member: 14003"] We have a driver (actually 2 drivers this happened to) that had a brain tumor. Doctors successfully removed it and the guy is just fine. You would never know by talking to him that he went through this. But UPS refuses to let him drive anymore. They tried every excuse under the sun and the one they finally settled on is "You cannot drive if you are taking [I]that[/I] medicine." UPS worked with the union and created a position working nights in the yard. He has since bid into a night clerk position. What he really wants is to get his driving job back. He has a lawyer and is still fighting it. DOT has even told him and his lawyer that there are other drivers out on the road taking the same medicine and he shouldn't have a problem driving commercial again but UPS still refuses. Now I know that maybe he should just be thankful that he still has a position with the company and will be able to retire in 4-5 years, but it just seems ironic that UPS doesn't want him to drive their vehicles, but he can drive his own vehicle 70+ miles to work. He used to be in my satelite ctr and only drive 30 miles to work. [/QUOTE]
