[QUOTE="Cole, post: 185940, member: 9507"] I am so sorry to hear of this, but this is exactly why it is imperative for everyone to know their contract. If you are injured under article 18, you do not have to continue, and they have to take you to the hospital asap. I know that doesn't help you now, and drinking the beer is not either. My advice is contact the media immediatley, UPS hates bad coverage, and be willing to name the managers involved. Also contact OSHA,and give them the whole story. You need to talk to an Attorney as well. Your local should be raising hell for you, but sometimes sadly that is not the case. Yes it's cardinal, but you can request to get in the rehab program, even if you're not an alcoholic, at least at that time. I would send a paper trail through your own center, to the saftey coordinator, and to the district manager, and even to UPS's national saftey person, and the Teamster national safety person. I don't know who it is now, under Ron Carey it was Caroline Robinson, and she was good. I would send those letters certified, and even one to Mike Eskew. The media will probably contact UPS but they will be squirming. A good Attorney will help you immensley. I don't need to remind you that you're not fighting just for yourself, so do what is necessary from a legalistic standpoint. They viloated the contract as soon as they told you you had to ride with the sup, and again when they didn't immediatley get you to a hospital. There is nothing to my knowledge about tattos in our contract or supplement. Also you can call the NLRB - National Labor Relations Board and see what they tell you. If it is a contractual issue more often than not they will defer it back to the Union, but it atleast puts some pressure on the Union, because the NLRB, still has to follow up on it, after it has been heard by the Union. Do no sit idle my friend, justice is slow moving, but you need to get moving asap! I hope your brethren there are helping you out. This is when they need to step up and help out. Please keep us posted on this! [/QUOTE]
