[QUOTE="Superteeth2478, post: 3997123, member: 73024"] Yeah, that's pretty weak. I would just have told you to schedule the surgery and call in and tell your manager to stuff it! Any discipline that came from that would be something I would recommend taking to a local news team to bury them in bad press... That reminds me of the time when a woman told the preload manager at the time (who surprisingly was a woman herself) that she was pregnant and needed to be put on light duty further along in the pregnancy to avoid harming the baby. The preload manager told her that she had to leave work and stay until she could perform the job with no restrictions. She came to me and elaborated on the incident (after her situation was revealed to me after she was out for a couple of days), and I was on that so fast she was back to work within three days (with backpay for the time she missed) and was allowed to work with the proper restrictions up until she delivered. I spoke to the preload manager and made it clear that it would not only be a grievance but also a lawsuit on top of that, and she backed down immediately. It's not the first time that UPS as a company has attempted to deny pregnant women the right to light duty. [/QUOTE]
