[QUOTE="Swngdrvr, post: 2764914, member: 63982"] The point is that you shouldn't have to make less money to come in for a fabricated TRW position when other people don't have to. TRW does nothing for vacation accrual, and it does not have any effect on when you will be displaced. The only thing it's good for is keeping up with health insurance payments. I did it for the month of September, before my surgery on October 3rd. I have been on a 5 pound weight restriction ever since, so they said no TRW because the address corrections I was doing don't meet the time requirement(10 hours) for TRW to pay out. To your point: sitting at home "wanking it" is not what I call what has been happening. I had PT 3 times a week since October. I have seen no progress with my injury, and if anything the doctor said while I was on TRW I made it worse because I had to use my injured arm constantly. TRW is not always the answer. I understand that some people milk their "injuries" to miss work. I'm not one of those people. I have been in constant pain since July of last year. I've done everything worker's comp has instructed me to, everything my manager has wanted me to do, and I am in a worse situation now than I was then. My station has 21 swings, most are getting paid minimums each week after being sent home at noon right now. There is no need to pick up the slack of my absence. My next surgery is scheduled for April 17th. I'll be out at least another 4-6 months. [/QUOTE]
