Hurt on job

[quad decade guy]

FUN FACT: 40% of UPS drivers careers end with injuries

Really? Almost half? When you say "drivers" you mean pkg?

Or divorce.

You mean "divorced" or end by divorce?

Or taking lavish trips with our Union Dues.
The Union Leadership is as useless as @olroadbeech , @BestMgrEver and @UpstateNYUPSer.

Are you in the union?

Ya..i am..but they cancelled my medical civerage because uos reported i havent wirked there sinse aug 2..

Lawyer up and shut up. You obviously have post traumatic injury symptoms that indeed may end up with you receiving a major settlement.

Best advice so far

He may be, but that's usually not how it goes with work comp unless it's negligence.

Equipment was broke and just sitting there..is that negligence? I should shut up now

Save your strength. You will need it to battle back from the physical and emotional trauma caused by faulty UPS equipment.

Is that neck brace helping?

You need to pay union dues, files grievances and know your union hall’s number. It’s their job to answer your questions or address your concerns.

Were you trained how to safely use the package car unloader?

 

[UPSandNOTproudit]

I don’t know why so many of you have to be such s when people ask legitimate questions.

Must have been pretty bad to get time off.

The recent injuries I remember was an un-loader breaking an ankle but was still brought in to sit in a chair and scan smalls all pre-load. Same with a driver who was injured but was made to work pre-load, scan smalls, expected to clean bathrooms and whatever else they wanted done. None of this "sitting at home collecting money"
