Hi all I recently finished rehab from my second back surgery in 12 months for another herniated disc. Doctor says I have reached Maximum medical improvement so Liberty mutual have stopped sending checks. I have been given restrictions of no lifting more than 115lbs and no push/pulling more than 130lbs and management wont allow me to come back yet they wont fire me, just have made me inactive. I have contacted ADA and they are sending me a packet to fill out and my union rep doesn't seem to be real confident in what hes doing or how he can help. Heres the kicker because Ive been on workers comp for last 6 months recovering I dont qualify to collect unemployment or disability to feed my family while this whole fiasco plays out. Any advice on strategy would be appreciated. I also went and got my cdl while ive been off in the hope maybe feeders might become an option. Their reason for not letting me back is I will be required to pull or push more than 130lbs on a hand truck being a package car driver. Such BS
