[QUOTE="browned out, post: 3618416, member: 8105"] Unless I am missing something in the agreement; The Long Term Disability amount remains the same for the entire term of the agreement. $800 a week. The $800 a week is Unacceptable. Last contract it increased from $600 in 2013 to $700 in 2014 and then to $800 a week in 2017. Aetna is catching on to the fact that a lot of UPS package car drivers go on disability. I am sure UPS has some of the highest % of employees on disability of any company. Some package car drivers have to go on medical (ends up disability) because they can not pin point the exact event that caused the injury. I am sure the number of drivers on disability has gone up dramatically in the last few years. This number will continue to rise. The fear of UPS retaliating against a driver reporting an injury is a major contributing factor. Some drivers would rather state they do not know when the injury occurred versus admitting they may have not followed a 8 keys rule or 5 keys rule. Repetitive injuries are not covered by Workman Comp. so those injured drivers most of the time go on disability. Sometimes a driver does not want to fight the company for months while being forced to work TAW and risk further injury; so they concede and go on disability. The LTD amount should be raised to $1000 a week plus increases [/QUOTE]
