[QUOTE="gandydancer, post: 494287, member: 9310"] The primary reason it didn't make financial sense was that I would have gotten nothing for the three days I took off before TAW was offered. With workers' comp you don't get paid for the first three days unless you go over 14 (calendar or work, I'm not sure). I'm not sure how 2/3 untaxed compares with TAW taxed, but I didn't think I was going to much better than make up for those three days before I'm cut. In the smalls sort? On the Facility Audit standards it says that all equipment and supplies must have a storage location and not be left scattered about. That was two of the items I wasn't allowed to put on my Concerns Log (they weren't "approved concerns"). Not only were there no wall hooks in one of the buildings to stow shepherd's hooks and brooms (the latter a result of my making an issue of the contract violation that first line trailers were not being swept by Carwash) but there was this huge pile of loose bags under the small sort as well as small loose piles in the load areas, supposedly to bag smalls (which wasn't happening -- all the smalls that came down after the small sort was shut off were just thrown in the loads). Now, the standards for the once-yearly Facility Audit say all the Safety Committees MUST be involved, and given a one month notice so that that involvement can be scheduled. But I'd just found out they'd gone ahead and performed it involving only the safety pets from the other shifts and centers when I got injured... One of the load shifts avoidable injuries was on the smalls bags. Seems they don't repair ones when the pulls fall off, and one bagger ended up nearly tearing off a fingernail closing one with no pull. The other was a loader who strained his back lifting the rear end of a TOFC carrier/roller assembly to get a misadjusted grating hook to engage. I'd raised that at the safety committee, in emails to PE, and put it on DECRs all to no avail months before the injury. [/QUOTE]
