UPS worker loses temper but wins compensation - DesMoines Register
A part-time worker at United Parcel Service who threw a temper tantrum and broke his hand by striking a UPS trailer and boxes has been awarded workers' compensation and medical expenses totaling nearly $8,000.
The damages were awarded even though a state administrative law judge acknowledge that the worker had initially lied about how he broke his hand and was fired "for destroying customer packages and creating a hostile work environment."
