[QUOTE="Heinrich, post: 1582458, member: 57962"] SO, whats the deal with all this you cant be DIABETIC stuff? It is illogical, and after reading all the policies, it feels like they are misinformed. I have been diabetic my entire life, have never been hospitalized, have a clean driving record. Isn't that all that matters here? They are discriminating against me for having a "disability," thats strange... I never considered it a disability... It says the insulin injecting process is complicated. I assure you, it is not. A comparison I'd like to make, is that it is like the difference between having a manual transmission, or automatic transmission. Your bodies regulate your sugar/insulin automatically, I regulate mine manually. Additionally, the whole diabetes EXEMPTION process has set us up to fail. For one, this is all based off of the DOT rules for a CDL license, one which we are not required to obtain. Vehicles less than 10,000 lbs do not require a CDL, and we are INTRASTATE not INTERSTATE. UPS has thin blanket policy that adheres to the standards you are required to meet for a CDL. SOOOO shouldn't I be allowed to drive? As if there were not enough hoops to jump through to begin with, I now have to deal with this BS exemption process which could take several months, (if they even allow it), where as I am being promoted now! I do not know what to do, or how(if) I should even bother trying to move forward. I am truly devastated/heartbroken by this discrimination. I have never felt this way before. I took a job here to move up the corporate ladder. I am finding out my ladder, is in fact, just a load stand. The union is not protecting me. Nobody is speaking up for me. I am left to fend for myself like a wolf in the wild, only, according to corporate, I am a wolf that cannot ever hunt. [/QUOTE]
