[QUOTE="happybob, post: 1043655, member: 4724"] There are and always will be jobs at UPS that do NOT require lifting, heavy or repetitive. The company use of"lifting 70 lbs" on all its job requirements is illegal. Do your homework and find out which jobs you can do with the restrictions you are given. The American with Disibilities Act requires the company allow you to move to another job, if you are qulified to perform the job, and they have openings, with or without reasonable accommodations, if you do qualify with a qualified disibility. Before you even consider a workers compensation buy-out, ask the company for an ADA accommodation. It is a long process, but one which allows you to continue your employment at UPS and not having to retrain through the workers compensation system. If you are not satisified with the company process under the ADA you can then seek legal council. [/QUOTE]
