I was hurt on the job and the ironic thing is that there is no party disputing it. I followed the entire request per doctor's, per union, per company. I was told I would never be a UPS driver again by the doctor. I received a rating and a restricted limit of 20 lbs. I told the doctor I have upper body strength and I think 30 are more reasonable. He changed the restriction to 30 lbs. upon my release back to work. I reported to work and they said they have nothing for me until I can lift 70 lbs. I have been to the union and the company and I have not been helped by either. I cannot believe that I do not qualify for at the very least short/long term disability. I asked both and both union and company said I would not qualify. I was hurt on the job! I can not believe I do not qualify for some support after 19 years service. Any suggestions or guidance is appreciated.
