[QUOTE="SCFeeder, post: 5978162, member: 110561"] Thank you, I was lucky. Came from preload. Straight to feeder. Especially my age starting at 21. I hear that doesn’t happen in many places but my domicile is full of pot heads who’d rather smoke than pass a drug test. I personally had goals on buying a house for my family. To me it was an easy decision at first until I turned 23 and realized after two years the job and hours isn’t worth the money. I’m speaking personally. Don’t get me wrong it was great and helped afford everything we ever wanted and needed. Anyways, I was refused FMLA through Hartford. I sent the denial letter to my manager and union unknowing why. UPS chairman got involved. He stated I was to be working my normal job and hours as well as back-paid for the time I was wronged. I wanted to work. I wanted to bring home my full paycheck. I needed to actually as we were trying to close on an house and needed proof of paychecks from both my husband and I. And I wanted the FMLA for when my son was born. Also to be clear, I was capable of working my job fully, I had no restrictions. After fighting to return to work, with help from union and chairman I worked my normal job up until I could no longer crouch to check the 5th wheels. Throughout this whole time they still had my medical benefits ‘terminated’ many emails, and phone chains trying to get them back. Where I live the only hospital is PPO plan which I had. Though it was ‘terminated’ . a week after I went off work, I went into labor. 33 weeks. Premature. I had to drive 1 hour to a hospital that would accept my husbands insurance. We live in a small town. Did I make it? Car baby he was. All UPS needed to do was reinstate my benefits because I was contractually owed them and back pay the two months they wrongfully refused to work me. After the two months they refused me, I still went and worked 5 months for them!! Waddling like a penguin! So why the refused to work me is still unclear. Pregnancy discrimination is how the EEOC and attorney are see it as. :/ it’s hard to love working for a company and the people in it and then to have this done during what is supposed to be such a special and enjoyable time of one’s life. Sorry for the rant. But know your reply has been appreciated more than you know!! And hopefully your questions regarding this have been answered as well. Happy Friday to you! [/QUOTE]
