[QUOTE="UnconTROLLed, post: 819571, member: 18708"] Do not waste your time with the union involvement, unless it is a union lawyer you are persuing. There is no contract language, to my knowledge, regarding workmans comp. The whole steward/ union thing is pointless and can only dig yourself into a hole. Do NOT let anyone speak on your behalf on this issue since it is legal and not contract. Tell your management team you want to file an injury report. If they deny, see your doctor and have a doctors statement confirming that it is Workmans Comp (work injury) and the doctor will fill out a form. The, call a lawyer and have them file a claim with your states industrial accident or labor board. It is a 10 minute process at most. This will initiate the state (hopefully) contacting UPS and they will want to know why the injury was not allowed to be filed and the ball will be rolling. At that point, from what I understand UPS must by law report the injury and then the claim will be filed. This may vary from state to state, too. Calling your states headquarters and asking simple questions will get you answers. [/QUOTE]
