I have read a majority of the statements left here aswell.I can relate much to what alot of you are complaining about also.Seeming as if the Postal Service Management athority has no bounds.Expecting injured employess to give 110 percent of their blood,sweat and tears to an organization whom’s check stub PLAINLY states OUR WAGES Are paid to US by OUR CUSTOMERS.
I think managers believe that just because we punch a time clock and they are on Salary we should not have any Rights to file any paper work whatsoever.WHAT IS A 3849 FOR? AMUSEMENT obviously.THEY do not have a GOOD UNION.An office is only as Good as the LOCAL AGREEMENT signed by all PARTIES.

GOP,

You conservatives love to take these lofty stands until you have to apply them to your own lives. If you were injured on the job you’d be screaming for “Your American right to be treated fairly” (conservispeak for compensated) louder than anyone.

Hypocrisy just seems to be a part of the conservative psyche – you know, like ‘drill, baby, drill’; but now that there’s a disaster it’s the president’s fault because he can’t come up with a magic solution to cleanup your mess.

Then there’s also that Superconservative who moved Hell and Earth to avoid putting his life on the line for this country, but now wants to lecture Americans on our military responsibilities. What’s his name? That hard fightin’ commando, Dick Cheney.

With all of the problems that you conservatives have caused this country, you should have to pay a fee every time you open your mouths.

I like the idea of a class action against the OIG and DOL, I was severly injured in 2006. The action of the original injury resulted in a chronic disease. I went to 5 orthepdists, 2 Nuerologists and a few other Dr.’s. The DOL would not raise my levels of disability even though I had MRI’s and EMG’s to prove the progressive nature. My Neurologist wrote a ten page report stateing this was going to happen and the injury was definetly due to the original accident at work. I live in the USVI, we have no good Dr’s here. I have to fly to the states at my own expense just to get MRI’s and other tests done. Luckilly I finally got my SSD and OPM Disability retirement. I took the PO a year after I got my SSD to finalize my retirement. The DOL said they would not pay for any of medical last year. I now have Medicare and my Federal coverage. This year long delay has cost me in Pain. I am suing the Postal Service for 5 different labor violations and my injury. Who said you can’t sue the gov. It takes a long time but it can be done, I would like to get a bunch empoyees that this type of thing has happened to and file class actions. We will need a good labor attorney if anyone knows one.

Our gov. seem to be the biggest abusers of the system, American with Diaability Act.(ADA) There is not a private co. that could exist in this country if they treated their employee’s like the gov does after an injury. Injured workers are intitled to reasonable accomadation. If our gov agencys would work together and combine agency vacent jobs . This would alimate anyone from sitting around doing nothing.This would do wonders, keeping fraud down. How ever, as a federal injured worker myself, I find managment unwilling to even engage in finding reasonable work . I have begged for work for years., they refuse any ideas I come up with. The gov. agencys are by LAW suppose to provide accomadtion. Title 7 of the ADA, check it out! How dishonest of our goverment, pressuring workers into filing claims with their private insurance co. Making all of us bare the finincal burden of higher insurance premiums. Why not do away with work comp?

It is unfair that those with legitimate claims cannot sue the post office and the superiors that made life hell for them. What I wonder can be done when you are fired for them lying and looking for any reason to fire you just because you were hurt, Nothing is be done when you cannot find a doctor to treat you because of omitted info so that your acceptable claim will only cover what they indicate. You get the run around and seems there is no one to help you so they get away with wronging honest individuals that have a valid claim and left to suffer physically with no help. I have little regard for the honesty for the post office and the governing agency that is suppose to protect your rights. There is nothing you can do but wait and hope some day that something will be done. You are treated badly and like you have betrayed the post office if you don’t work injured.

GOP and ACE, I’m sure you two would not have a problem with not being paid if you got injured no matter how long you were out, right? You talk about all the whiners and complainers. Pay attention and stop grand standing!! Did you read this sentence:

“But OIG ignores the fact that less than 0.3 percent of the tens of thousands of Postal Service employees who get hurt while on the job are ever found guilty of defrauding the system.

Oh that’s right, it doesn’t fit in with your right-wing, conservative, anti-worker, Palinesque philosphy. People like YOU are ruining this country with your selfish, greedy, I got mine, screw everyone else attitudes. You probably call yourself a Christian because you go to church on Sunday. Maybe you need to remember to have a Christian attitude all week. Compassion and sympathy are not socialist ideals, no matter what the Anti-Obama fascists say. I don’t know who you are, but I’d guess your both just a couple of lard asses sitting behind desks with nothing better to do than insult and belittle people who sacrificed their health to keep a poorly managed company running. Do I sound angry? you bet I am. I’ve seen good people made to suffer at the hands of the OIG and management because they had the nerve to get injured at work, and I’m sick and tired of people like you putting them down.

Let’s get back to the no work-no pay theory This country was not founded by a bunch of wimpy people that thought of excuses why they couldn’t work. For the few that are NOT trying to scam the system you can blame the ones that are. You’d be amazed at what people can do if they HAVE TO! Same as the lazy bums that sit on their butt all winter and collecting unemployment when they COULD be working. It’s time for this PATHETIC socialism to END!!

Fed up & Kevin

Maybe your injuries are what you say……….However, Ive seen it all in New England………..Dr. Winteroff right after collecting those X-mas tips. Healthy when the golf season rolls around. Why the need for OIG investigations, there you go. Worry not about being investigated if you are truely injured. The golden goose is running out of eggs…………..
