[QUOTE="upsdude, post: 201044, member: 2033"] Law in many states addresses workers Comp. In Virginia for example, the extent of an injury and function loss may require a percentage of disability. UPS and their insurance carrier have no input. Of course it could be argued UPS does have a say since they’re paying the doctor making the diagnosis. I was over 40 when I suffered what 2 doctors called a career ending injury. Two UPS doctors said I was done, I argued for a 3rd opinion. It was UPS that agreed to my seeing a 3rd doctor that offered another treatment option. With what UPS had spent to that point I could have understood their wanting to cut the losses. I’ve been back to full duty for nearly 7 years with no pain. I just haven’t seen “Age Discrimination” in my 20 years (all FT driving) with UPS. What I do see is management asking the most senior drivers to mentor the new (younger) drivers. I had a long time manager tell me just a few days ago that UPS is going to be in big trouble when all the “old school” drivers retire. [/QUOTE]
