A lot to decipher Dave. I have nothing against the injured. However, the PO needs to put something in place to offset the problems with so many injured. Perhaps a review of why these injuries happen. Understaffed on the machines and supervisors demanding so much is one problem. Again, if the injured have bid assignments and can not work it (legitimately) who fills in for them? Doing a job daily that requires 10 people to work safely and only 5 are available all suffer. Those hurting with injuries and those doing double work to compensate for the shortage. It's a no win situation for everybody. To sum it up, management sucks because of their deficiencies in managing. It ain't that hard folks to figure this thing out!!!!!
