Rep Power: 365 |  short term disabilty
Sunday I had an ATV accident and fractured my wrist. doc says i will be out for probably 6 weeks. this sucks because it is around the holidays and money is going to be tight. a coworker told me the union will pay out a ST disability benefit of about $250 a week. does anyone know if this is true? |

Call your union hall.

I think I got $554 after FICA tax.
