[QUOTE="helenofcalifornia, post: 117465, member: 5170"] OK. The work at UPS is hard on our bodies. We all know that. So we get surgery to correct it. Our doctors tell us to wear braces or other apparatus in our recovery. Some of us continue to wear them believing that they still help us either physically or making us feel more comfortable mentally. (I am one of the latter) Because we look "bad" as a driver we shouldn't wear one???? We should find another job? We got used to a certain lifestyle because of the great benefits and pay sacrificing (sp?) our bodies for the company. And it's kinda hard to let go of it and freefall into (for most of us) an unknown job market because we gave up on college for "the job." I think it's pretty nervy of UPS to say no to braces. And our center has Samoans with huge leg tatoos. Can UPS say no to something that is culturally accepted w/in the Samoan culture? Try and I smell backpay. Sorry about the rant but my knee hurts just thinking about this subject. [/QUOTE]
