[QUOTE="brownIEman, post: 605858, member: 14596"] um, the contract does not say anywhere that supervisors cannot touch packages. Part time sups have to be able to do the work of hourlys for training and safety purposes. A heavy irreg falls on someone, I suppose your interpretation of the contract would be the part time sup should say "just sit there and bleed for a while as I go try to find a barganing unit employee to help lift that off ya". Is it wrong for the company to force a pregnant person who wants light duty to take disability instead? Dunno. Is it right for a person who gets pregnant to try to force a company to create a non-productive busy work position and keep paying them the same money? As for pregnancy and disability, I agree with you to a degree. Have seen women who were pregnant and worked almost up to the point of delivery. However, thinking this should aply to all women is naive in the extreme. Pregnancy is not the same for any two women. Some women are built such that they can work through. For some, it is more difficult and working late into the pregnancy could increase the risk of situations like miscarriage, still birth, or other problems that could lead to losing a child. Not really worth it in my opinion. [/QUOTE]
