[QUOTE="tjb, post: 182851, member: 9337"] I worked as a pre-loader for five months.After being injured twice and be treated poorly both time I stopped showing up.Four days latter I was sent a note thru the post office saying I had been terminated because I hadn't showed up or called in for 3 days.I agreed that I should of been fired,I mean I was basically quiting. I was told not to file for workmans comp the first time I was injured.They asked if I had ever had any back problems in the past and I said yes so they said it was pre-existing and wouldn't be coverd under workmans comp.So I ended up taking a week off and comming back with a doctors release.Well three months latter I was injured again lifting a 120 pound package that was marked only with someone writting 129 pounds heavy in ink in very small writting.I was already commited and had lifted it up when I realized how heavy it was I then placed it on a pallet.I didn't think much of it at the time because it didn't hert that bad.The next day I called in because of the pain.Later that day I called to talk to a superviser and he told me to come in at 11:00am to talk about it.When I came in my sup. had me go see the center superviser,yes the top dog.He said that I would be costing UPS 24k because I didn't report the injury rite a way.The sups presured me into not filling for workmans comp.This was the second time in five months.I heard latter from a driver that I should of had a union stewart with me and that I most likely could of gotten my job back but I guess there is a 20 day deadline and its been a month.I was also a part time air driver and a modle employee My part time sup. often would be asking me questions.I wanted to become a full time driver but I really didn't feel like puting up with 2-3 years of this bs at the time.I tried to apply on the UPS web site for the %pm-10pm shift and in said I couldn't apply because I was a past emplyee.I'm not really sure what that means.I thought about calling up tomorrow just to see what my former sup. has to say. I have a friend that has a job for me in the auto industry paying 50-60k starting I may just take it. Any suggestions would be greatly appriciated. Thanks, T [/QUOTE]
