Help needed concerning treatment of disabled

[toonertoo]

There is sooooo much more to Ups than slinging cardboard..UPS supports united way, why wouldn't a company of this magnitude, give jobs to the disabled? Apparently he has a job description, and guess who is not following it ..they have mentally disabled management..
Just because you and I are lucky enough to sling/had slung cardboard, there are many areas that a disabled person could work..I've never known you to be a mean guy .but that comment was not well thought out..it made you sound small minded.

Hope not but is that automatic license to

Hope not but is that automatic license to make a job for someone?

Thanks for replying to all that have. I appreciate greatly

My experience with the ethics hotline is just another arm of management..the union will help to some degree,. Eeoc can be slow, but within a week, they will get a letter, and the abuse stops

Again THANK YOU for all except azzhat wally for your replys about what is a very serious situation to us

What exact job does he do? I ask that because as you know, the job is very physical in nature, and to get on ssi, you need to meet criteria such as not being able to:

• standing up from a seated position
• balancing while standing or walking
• using the arms

He ever considered going into management or taking an center office clerk job?

UPS will create jobs for people sometimes but very hit or miss. Not something I would count on. New job would be more the exception than normal result.

The ADA prohibits discrimination based on disabilities that can be reasonably accommodated. Clearly UPS felt the accommodations were reasonable when they hired the employee in question, and even established the accommodations. Someone needs to bring the supervisor in question up to speed, he is creating unnecessary liability for himself and the company. I would let HR know first, then educate the union on their requirement to uphold the contract where they and the company agreed to follow ADA rules and where the company agreed not to harass the employees. Then contact the EEOC and let them know you already informed the company and union about the problems.

the problem is reasonably accommodated is a gray area open to interpretation. Sometimes UPS won't really try very hard and claim they did.

Establishing the need for accommidation is one thing. In this case, however, they already agreed to it, and the jackwagon sup is not honoring the agreement. He is creating unnecessary liability for the company, and needs to be brought up to speed or shown the door.

Wrong! My daughter is on SSDI an can still work. You don't know jack about disability rights

My brother-in-law gets disability for job stress, not physical injury. He was a prison guard and a lot of those guys get early outs because of stress. Other jobs are stressful too but it helps when you are working for the government.

According to @Wally , the only way you can get SSDI is if your name is Terry Shiavo.

Sorry but you are wrong.

We were talking about 11.7 and what it takes about qualifying for ssi, not working while on it.

The ethics hotline of today is a joke. It's nothing more than a way to give management a heads up to get a good story together. Our center manager has had the hotline called dozens of times for things that should have gotten them fired or arrested years ago. Don't waste your time. Lawyer up.

Post it on ups facebook page.

Would be a shame if that sup broke both arms and legs somehow...

I mean...

Sometimes locations accidentally slip out and one made guy might reach out to another made guy...

Slip and falls can happen anywhere.



I mean.

Don't let that bother you.

Do as other posters suggested and handle it through the proper channels.

But...

There's always other options.

Good luck.

Exactly the case

Again, a big thanks to all. I wasn't sure how the replys were going to go, I know sometimes you guys drop the boom on some posts. Its good for my son to read these and see your support. Just to be clear, he is capable of working like anyone else in the hub and keeps up fine with his peers, the accommodations are essentially, no heights and no flashing lights which could trigger an epileptic seizure. All other supes in our hub are great about the situation, its just the 1 guy who feels like an unethical pattern bullier of my son and a couple other guys with documented issues. He just transferred back to our hub this week after a year or so away. My son had ZERO issues with any disciplinary actions whatsoever while he was away.....but anyway, again, THANKS TO ALL even to wally for taking the time to respond
