I can't believe people still blame Bush for everything that goes wrong, but if it's something good, Obama gets the credit! Wake up.

I Agree Snowed to tell you the truth I only watch news when the Mrs. Turns channel. This isn't place for political views. That segment the other day should tell the whole story bottom Line Usps has the most injured workers comp expenses because they are exploiting the system themselves.

I do watch Fox News and at times they are biased but they are a lot less biased then the liberal left news stations....but then again this forum is not the place for political bashing...Whatever happened to the days when all the news was just reported and not slanted?

Greetings to you Miss Lucy and to all on this informative forum,
I Agree wholeheartedly with all you said in your blog /m27006. Generic you say? The USPS has a protocol then that borders discriminatory actions. You get hurt, Injured on their watch and now they can deem you a throw away? I don't think so. This agency and many other government agencies think that the injured workers are weak.. and until you show them you are NOT going to put up with their discriminatory ways, they will try to push you out of their way. Fight on miss Lucy..fight on and show them your not going to tolerate it.

Thank you Snowed and Kimmiek, I don't know how to play chess, but I know the when and when not to make the first move. I got the impression that they were trying to intimidate me into DR by first sending me the DR package. The cover letter said per your request, huh I did'nt request anything, then 30 days later the second one came, same per my request, really?? I call HR in Greensboro, NC and they told me the letter was generic and they could not change it. Well if I did'nt request it why should I resond to it. I"m just saying my spirit told me that they were trying to get me to retire myself. I asked alot of questions about DR, deferred retirement, and was told employees on the OWCP rolls were not entitled to the retirement incentive offered to clerks last year, because you have to be on the PO payroll thats where money is coming from the PO. The only thing they want you to do is what is favorable for them. OFF OWCP period! They don't care if your homeles, bankrupt, in foreclosure, whether you get DR or not. Just OFF OWCP! Ok going into the mode of venting, but I believe strongly that if one has sustained an injury or injuries on any job the company has to digest the liability. What makes things even worst is that the so called co workers that ridiculed you, now retired (regular) have the same problems 1 month into retirement, really?? Hip replacement, knee replacement, rotor cuff tear, toe joint replacement, carpet tunnel etc. Now you can't tell me that they did not have those problems 1yr prior to retiring. Ok then when you have the courage to file your claim, and be compensated they forgot that they thought you were faking. No sympathy here, they can go straight to ( )!

Fox News reports on Old News ......there are dishonest people in all walks of Life. They are promoting propaganda ive never heard of a company who claims to be broke but at the same time are hiring. And if all of the injured were given jobs they would really go broke then. LET ME REMIND EVERYONE FOX NEWS IS A REPUBLICAN NETWORK AND ITS THE REPUBLICAN S UNDER THE BUSH ADMINISTRATION WHO STARTED THE REASSESSMENT OF THE POSTAL SYSTEM. NRP STARTED IN NYC THE PILOT PROGRAM started there first. Edited 06-18-2013 01:25 PM

After reading comments concerning all of the issues. I was concerned about separation but not anymore its just another tactic that the USPS uses to try and intimidate or LWEC your current compensation if it hasnt happen already. At the end of the day its the government who gets over when an employee cannot file a llawsuit .But this one scheme that the postal service initiated needs to be highlighted, Class Action Lawsuits are just another way the USPS gets over the millions they save in addition to the Billions they get over when eliminating the injured is starting to Really bother me. If each employee who was injured and then discriminated against filed a separate Lawsuit .the Bull would come to a end. Edited 06-18-2013 01:01 PM

No clue what being on a game show has to do with anything "earnings" none business related...???? I agree with Snowed : "what if you can't use your arms or didn't even have any ???? You can't run... Do they want us to curdle up and die ? I already have so much problems with depression and anxiety over my own disabilities, I don't even come out of the house for days. I can't think any more. I have gone over my 22 year history of doctor visits, etc. read blogs from this site and others - going back to 2010. Made multiple copies of my stuff trying to connect the dots to submit to all "boards" they come up with. My one arm hurts so bad, I can't even stand petting my 5 pound dog, so I use my left and it getting aggravated flaring up work related claims. My one finger typing takes forever but we all have to figure out our rights and help each other.
I think if they are now separating the employees- that's a red flag-- I am separated and THEY have changed my restrictions and are trying to rehire me claiming they can accommodate us. They are setting us up... To lose all...

It makes me mad that some people think injured workers are all out to defraud Workers Comp. Actually, Workers Comp is out to defraud the injured. When you send in one thing about your injury or injuries, they want more. It's never enough because they don't want to pay! The doctors examine you, run tests etc. The injured don't tell their doctors what to say or what the diagnosis is. Same goes for Social Security Disability. I have numerous job related injuries and other medical problems. When NRP booted me out, I tried reconsideration, I tried to go back to work. The Postal Service denied me any work, my doctors stuck to their input on my CA-7, minimal lifting, breaks every 15 minutes, no this, no that, etc. Work Comp denied me because of No Loss of Wage Earning Capacity, Medical Retirement denied, & Social Security denied. I struggled for months, not knowing how I was going to get by, as I became a widow the same year. Nobody gave a damn, Union no help etc. Yet a person I know, never worked, heroin addict got SSI in 3 months! That had happened to me in 2010! I just got SSI,& Disability Retirement! How fair is that? Yeah, I'm getting back pay, but this never should have happened! And the class action? Still nothing!
