[QUOTE="Rawrzxor, post: 1458135, member: 51342"] Well, at least they help you out a bit. That's better than nothing. Would they do that for a PT Loader, as well? Or is that a full time thing? Forgot to mention that. I can't really afford much. How much is the Aflac or Combined insurance? Light duty would work--but, even when I broke my big toe a couple months ago (unrelated to UPS), they had me do the same damn thing I always do. No light duty for a broken toe, I guess. I could hardly walk at all, basically hopping on one foot to go push down. -__-;; Needless to say, the truck got severely backed up. They didn't put me in a slow one, either. One of the fastest. Derp. Though, they did send help when it inconvenienced them enough. I'm 129 pounds, and they've had me doing irregs pretty much all week last week. Up to 135 pound packages...Having me lift things that weigh more than I do. I've never done that many of them before, in that time though; and, now my shoulder is acting up. I'll ask to avoid irregs--at least picking them up and putting them on the 5-foot grating, until it chills out. I hardly think resting with an injury that incapacitates you, *because* of working at UPS, qualifies as a gravy train. [/QUOTE]
