[QUOTE="Jerrystch, post: 4977879, member: 92727"] I am a ups driver that has an ongoing worker’s compensation case. On 8/19/21 I worked as a package car driver from around 9am until around 10pm. I was told by management to work the next day. I had little to no sleep and came to work on 8/20/21 at 4am(preload shift). During the end of the preload shift around 8am I got a call and text from management telling me I must now drive a package car delivering air packages / shuttling for a few more hours. At this point I was holding myself from collapsing due to lack of sleep. I told management It would be difficult for me to drive since I had no rest, but they demanded I drive. In emergency I called my ShopStewart and explained I going to kill someone if I get into that package car and drive! There was no doubt in my mind someone was going to die that day. Again on 8/24/21 I worked all day as a package car driver. That day I got off around 9pm but was told by Management that I must work pre load shift at 4:45 am. I arrived at work as instructed but again they pushed hostile work conditions on me by having me half asleep and demanding I stay working for a full 8hrs. At this point I’m extremely irritable and having a very hard time concentrating. Once again I ask why am I being forced to do this. The reply I got was because we are not paying you to see your work comp doctors nor physical therapy. What should I do? Any advice plz… [/QUOTE]
